Ending the Pandemic Phase

Pfizer’s antiviral pill is 89% effective in cutting rates of hospitalization and death in Covid-19 patients. The news is huge for Pfizer and even bigger for the pandemic’s trajectory in this country. CNBC’s Meg Tirrell unveils the news, and Pfizer board member and former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb says it means we are nearing “the end of the pandemic phase of this virus.” Plus, ‘The Sopranos’ actor Steven Schirripa--the man behind Bobby ‘Bacala’ Baccalieri--shares show secrets and behind the scenes history, and he extends the Sopranos family name to the Squawk team. Peloton shares are on the descent, and U.S. workers are headed out of their office doors.
