What kills the most Americans? What type of flu is going around? How much is a flu test? How many people died from COVID? What causes heart disease in women?

AMA's Vice President of Science, Medicine and Public Health, Andrea Garcia, JD, MPH, discusses cardiovascular disease statistics, heart disease in women, the latest bird flu developments, and flu test at home. American Medical Association CXO Todd Unger hosts.
