Biden says US has 'more work to do' on testing
By Alex Gangitano - 12/27/21 12:30 PM EST

 

President Biden acknowledged Monday there is "more work to do" on COVID-19 testing in the U.S. after many scrambled to get tests over Christmas amid a sharp rise in cases.

“Seeing how tough it was for some folks to get a test this weekend shows that we have more work to do. We’re doing it,” Biden said on a White House COVID-19 response team call with the governors to discuss the administration’s response to the omicron variant.

“I know the lines have gotten very long in some states,” he said, adding that he ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to set up pop-up sites in places with high demand such as New York City, where six new sites were stood up in the last five days.

Biden also pointed to a new partnership with Google to find testing locations on the search engine, saying, "We worked with Google so you can now search 'COVID test near me' on Google."

While acknowledging the need for more testing, the president touted the wider availability of over-the-counter tests, noting that eight at-home tests are now on the market and another was cleared last week.

“But it’s not enough, it’s clearly not enough,” he said.

Stop the madness.

The pandemic ends with Omicron.

It's looking like Omicron is the last step in the pandemic ....

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials on Monday cut isolation restrictions for Americans who catch the coronavirus from 10 to five days, and similarly shortened the time that close contacts need to quarantine.

COVID cases in FL have skyrocketed in the past week though it has been reported that the severity of symptoms are not as harsh; provided (of course) that you are vaccinated.

Since it has been reported with each variant that symptoms are milder, with Omicron being the mildest yet, I think we're going to see this virus burn itself out.

Will China and Biden see to it that a new and more deadly virus  be inflicted upon us in order to maintain control?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

That is a possibility I have been wondering about.
It is obvious that Americans aren't buying what the Brandon Administration is selling. The party hacks and closed circle of beltway insiders may be able to get enough votes to push this crap through, but anyone who considers the repercussions of the current insanity is dead-set against it.

Even the COVID panic is dying out to the point the really adamant people are either seriously compromised or borderline insane. That "Karen" level of fear is a litmus test, imho.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
