Covid’s New Strain; University Tuitions Freezing Over; Tracking Wealth Threats

New strains of the Covid-19 virus have been found in Britain and South Africa and doctors are warning it could be even more contagious than the original strain. Former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses what a mutated strain of coronavirus means for vaccine efforts and a global recovery. The pandemic has prompted higher education institutions to rethink tuition costs, and Purdue University has found a way to freeze its costs for a decade. Purdue President Mitch Daniels explains prioritizing safety and academic integrity throughout the pandemic and beyond. Plus, the wealthy are planning for a prosperous new year amid the threat of taxes and the ongoing coronavirus risks.
