anthony fauci responds to fierce criticism of the newest cdc guidance. saying the agency may update its guidelines yet again, to now suggest that those who contract covid, but do not have symptoms, test negative before ending their five-day isolation period. dr. fauci says the u.s. is now reporting an average of about 400,000 new cases a day. that's a new pandemic record. with nearly 100,000 americans fighting the virus in a hospital. and the tough decisions for school districts nationwide, as millions of parents get ready to send their children back to school. is it safe to return to in-person learning? dr. jha standing by with that, and the key symptoms of omicron. >>> a new winter storm taking aim at the northeast tonight. major cities on alert for weather whiplash, from mild temperatures to a bitter blast of cold and snow. in new mexico, authorities rescuing dozens of people trapped in a tram high in the mountains. in arkansas, heavy sleet triggering accidents and backing up traffic for miles. rob marciano is standing by with the timing and the track

anthony fauci buried reports that covid was leaked from a lab, he's once again saying it probably camenature. so is he delusional or, worse yet, compromised and engaging in yca for nearly -- cya? for nearly two years fauci has pushed the natural origin theory, you know, that the covid came from a bat or a pension penguin or a -- penguin or a mom and anybody who suggests otherwise is a conspiracy theorist. but the problem is there's this paper trail that follows him everywhere he goes. bret baier's excellent reporting in this week revealed fauci was told the lab leak theory was certainly possible if not probable. watch. >> new internal communications from the national institutes of health obtained by fox news show in the earliest days of the crisis dr. anthony i fauci, the head of the agency's infectious diseases institute, is warned covid may have leaked from a chinese government-run lab. the wuhan institute of i have rolling. i have rolling. kennedy: that's the one. dr. fauci was a best on siriusxm, and he said this today. >> we always have to keep an open mind on this, marc, as alway

brady is 37 years younger than anthony fauci. at his age, he seems to have more patients got more perspective, and more clarity about life. imagine if brady was saying that he wanted to hang onto prove his doubters wrong, which is what fauci seems to be telegraphing in some of his public statements. at this point, fauci knows that half the country has tuned him out. but he wants to hang on just to annoy us for a little while longer. how arrogant is that and how sad it is. sync with his current crop of old folkies running the democratic party. they are almost staying on for despite of it at this point. >> i do know why people are saying, you need to step aside for me. no. if you want my seeds, come get it. >> laura: 81 years young. nothing positive to show for the past 13 months. only the wreckage they have left behind by. but they are still hanging on. obviously, being a senior citizen does not disqualify and one from making huge positive contributions. remember, benjamin franklin was at the constitutional convention at age 81, s
