Frustrated health workers dread expected rise in COVID hospitalizations: 'We're exhausted'

It also forewarned that 2021 is expected to surpass 2020's record number of deaths by at least 15,000. COVID-19 has become the country's third highest killer — only behind heart disease and cancer. Judy Woodruff takes a closer look.
