Throughout an interview on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” host Dana Perino pointed out to Psaki that the U.S. is roughly six weeks behind Europe and Britain when it comes to reacting to COVID variants like Delta and Omicron.
“Are we six weeks away from something like a Boris Johnson announcement?” Perino asked.
“I can’t make a prediction of that, because we listen to the scientists,” Psaki stated.

We want to get back to a point where we’re not wearing masks, of course, where we’re not worried about our kids being in school places,” she went on.
