NewsDepth 2020-2021 | Episode 23


In this week's episode, we recap Biden's national address on the one-year milestone of the pandemic in the United States. We also learn when scientists expect that children will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

More people shopping has caused a jam at the Los Angeles shipping port and a lack of cheese at Costcos. For undocumented immigrants, food assistance has been hard to come by throughout the entire pandemic though. We visit a food bank set up to help.

Plus, we meet some impressive kids, including a teen whose joke book was recently published and an Ohio girl who played a big role in designating Ohio's official state fossil. We dive deeper by learning about some of Ohio's neatest prehistoric creatures in this week's  Know Ohio.
