Episode 211: American Society Lives with COVID

This week on Polilogue, we look at how leaders attempt to get the next phase of normalcy as COVID continues to be a threat. Governor Andy Beshear from Kentucky prioritized teacher vacinnes and getting children into schools. Meanwhile, Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota deflects the criticisms about the death toll in her state.

We continue to wait for guidance from Dr. Fauci and other public health officials regarding the transmissibility of vaccinated people.
