Description
A new office has been established in the Pentagon to study UFOs. Spearheaded by Sen. Kirsten Gilibrand and tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act, the office is positioned as a national security issue. While many welcome this new office, some activists fear that without some civilian involvement we could see cover-ups of vital info. Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for this, Covid at-home test being sent to Americans, and Joe Biden heads to Georgia on Tuesday.
Next, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the number of dialysis patients shrunk, not because more people were healthy, but because Covid struck. People with kidney failure and the associated illnesses are more prone to severe infection, but many people also neglected getting their treatments during the pandemic. And despite dialysis centers implementing Covid precautions, some facilities didn't follow their own infection control policies. Duaa Eldeib, reporter at ProPublica, joins us for how dialysis patients were the pandemic's perfect victims and how few people took notice.
