Ten days ago, we’d never heard of Omicron. Now it’s spreading rapidly. While European leaders take decisive action, the U.S. is struggling. As @mehdirhasan explains, more than 18 months into this pandemic, with 780k+ deaths, we’re still not taking this virus seriously.

Medhi, thank you for pushing for vaccine mandate for domestic travel and for free at-home covid tests. Many of us have hoped these things would happen long ago, but with you help maybe can happen soon, much appreciate your show!

With Omicron spreading rapidly through South Africa, it’s important to note that we still had, in the last 7 days, almost double the number of cases/million.

Thank you for this! We need to hold our current leadership accountable. We need them to be courageous and aggressive in their handling of this crisis.
