This week on the show, host Daniel Vaughan covers the emerging B.1.1.7 strain of COVID-19 that originated in the United Kingdom and has spread globally. He goes through the CDC’s data and recent information from PM Boris Johnson on the threat this mutated form of the virus poses to the population. In the second segment, he covers all the most recent COVID-19 numbers and what the issue is with vaccines, shortages, and whether or not supply chain distribution is the real culprit.
