Anderson Cooper 360

CDC Director: We Expect Omicron to Become Dominant Variant in the Coming Weeks

18 Dec 2021

Description

The Delta variant continues to spread in the United States but CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky says the Omicron variant is "increasing rapidly" and expected "to become the dominant strain” in the coming weeks. New York state just reported its highest single-day Covid-19 case count since the beginning of the pandemic. Dr. Francis Collins is the director of the National Institutes of Health. He joins AC360 to discuss what people can expect in the coming weeks and months.  Plus, sources tell CNN members of the January 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol believe that former Texas Governor and Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry was the author of a text message to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows the day after the 2020 election pushing “strategy” to undermine the results. Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar is a member of that committee. He tells Anderson Cooper he thinks it’s “more important” to understand the White House chief of staff was “entertaining text messages” like these about “overturning the elections.” To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
