Despite More Covid Hope, Many Schools Remain Closed

Some good news. Every day the past two weeks there have been fewer than 100,000 Covid cases in the U.S. If you combine this past week, it still doesn't add up to the one-day record of the 300,000 new infections reported. There is also hope there will be enough vaccine doses for every American by July. So, despite all this encouraging news, why are so many kids still learning form home? Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a board-certified medical doctor and FOX News Contributor, discusses where we are with vaccine distributions, why kids should return to the classroom despite concerns of other strains and why we're seeing such a mild flu season. President Biden this week during a town hall in Milwaukee distanced himself from White House press secretary Jen Psaki's comments that the administration's goal for its first 100 days was to have more than 50% of schools open at least one day per week. The comment was met with criticism leading to the President calling it a "miscommunication." Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris dodged questions during a Today Show interview when pressed on the CDC's guidelines that it's safe for teachers to return to school without a vaccination. FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace weighs in on the media's focus on the Biden administration now that impeachment is over. He also discusses former President Trump breaking his post-election silence to talk about the late-conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh and the Lincoln Project chaos.
