Cold & Flu Season is Here With New COVID Variant | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

It is that time of year again, cold and flu season, and add to that a new variant of COVID-19. While we are much better equipped to handle the coronavirus than we were at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, there are still challenges, including a current lack of pediatric COVID vaccines in some areas, as well as updated boosters for adults. Former Surgeon General of the United States and author of the new book, "Crisis and Chaos: Lessons from the Front Lines of the War Against COVID-19," Dr. Jerome Adams, joins to talk about why the boosters and the pediatric vaccine have been hard to come by. Dr. Jerome tells us about the latest COVID variant and the symptoms. With it being cold and flu season, it can be hard to distinguish what exactly you are suffering from. That said, Dr. Jerome shares how you can distinguish between the seasonal flu, the common cold and COVID. Dr. Jerome takes us back to the beginning of the COVID pandemic and discusses some of the lessons he learned. He talks about addressing the problem of misinformation and disinformation. Dr. Jerome explains what the issues are with that. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
