we re very overdue for infrastructure investment in this country. we are expecting president biden s plan to be really ambitious. we are looking ahead to that big rollout by the president tomorrow. also tonight we are keeping an eye on the covid news. the biden administration today announced that as of today we have crossed an important threshold. as of today, a majority of u.s. seniors have been vaccinated. we have hit 50% of all americans aged 65 and up have been vaccinated. just a remarkable threshold. cdc director rochelle walensky today meeting with governors from around the country asking them to please slow down or stop reopening plans in the states for the next few weeks because the vaccination rollout really only needs a few more weeks at this pace to get us finally a mathematical advantage for the virus for the first time if we can avoid another huge surge of transmission in the next few weeks. dr. walensky making that case to the nations governors today. we are wa
