The TAKE with Rick Klein
The threat posed by COVID-19 is not the same as it once was. Neither, though, is the promise of emerging on the other side of the pandemic.
President Joe Biden is set to address the nation Tuesday about a new variant that represents a wearying challenge to Americans. He is being forced to confront his own previous statements of optimism, in addition to realities of logistics and politics that make it seem like this is going to last a whole while longer.
Biden plans to announce no new shutdowns, according to the White House. But fresh restrictions are going to be a fact of life for many Americans this winter, with schools making contingency plans, and companies and municipalities making their own decisions.
