Is COVID transitioning from a pandemic to a problem?

President Biden said "the pandemic is over" in an interview with CBS’ 60 minutes on Sunday. But the White House is still asking Congress for an additional 22.4 billion in COVID funding. In the U.S., nearly 3,000 people died from COVID in the past week. The World Health Organization Director-General says the end of the pandemic "is in sight," but that "we are not there yet." Plus, a new spotlight on who gets sick pay in America. And, the murder conviction that helped make podcasts popular, overturned. Guests: Axios' Emily Peck and Kaiser Health News’ Julie Rovner.
