policy director and medical contributor and also dr. benjamin miller. thank you so much both of you for being here. dr. patel, aisle start with you. what did you make of president biden s winter covid-19 action plan. do you think enough is being done to handle both the delta strain, which, of course, is still the dominant one here in the u.s. and is claiming a thousand or more lives a day as well as the new variant? yeah. good morning, jonathan. so i think you alluded to this earlier in the show, that there s always probably more you can do, and, of course, we re waiting for some details. but short of trying to get those mandates through that i think are going to get tangled up in courts for some time, it s pretty broad, pushing on existing levers and adding new ones. paying for pediatricians to get vaccine counseling don t get enough light of day.
