The cdc recommends isolation for most people who test positive for have been exposed to the virus, from five days to ten. during evidence people are most infectious in the early days of the illness. let's bring and doctor farney makary, johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health and fox news medical contributor. marty, welcome, good to see you. let's start with talking about the omicron variant where we are, these new studies about t cells and how they seem to be very active against the omicron variant and maybe reducing the severity of covid. >> we got a lot of good news this week, a stu...
