Summary

In his televised address last week President Biden pledged to make all adults eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine by May 1st. While the Biden administration is moving up the vaccine rollout timeline, there is cause for concern as coronavirus variants spike in Europe and Brazil. Senior Director of the Pathogens Program at New York City Health and Hospitals, Dr. Syra Madad joins to discuss how the United States’ vaccination program is performing in comparison to other countries, the warning signs we are seeing from Europe’s surges in COVID-19 variants and her optimism surrounding America’s progress on vaccinations. The coronavirus has impacted everyone in some way in the past year. With nationwide lockdowns and strict social distancing rules, small business owners across the U.S. have struggled to keep their businesses open with many shutting their doors for good. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has helped raise millions of dollars for small businesses through the Barstool Fund. He joins today’s ‘Rundown’ to talk about the fund, how Barstool has adapted during the pandemic and more. Plus, commentary by Cal Thomas. Learn more about your ad choices.
