Description

Summer is unofficially here, with people across the country going out, traveling, and dropping masks more than in months past. But case numbers over Memorial Day weekend were almost 6 times higher than at this time last year, and COVID vaccines aren't keeping up with the new variants that just keep coming.

Plus, the golden age of remote work is ending.

And, why it’s more important than ever to get enough Vitamin D.

Guests: Dr. Celine Gounder, editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News and Axios' Hope King.
Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Erica Pandey, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Alex Sugiura, and Lydia McMullen-Laird. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
