Nearly two full years into the pandemic, they discuss the omicron variant, the importance of addressing long-haul symptoms and mental health, and more. Daniella also recaps President Joe Biden’s first year in office, which resulted in 200 million fully vaccinated Americans, 6 million new jobs created, and a 40 percent reduction in childhood poverty.
