‘It’s not even funny anymore’: Biden’s announcement of new testing plan a disaster on many levels
January 13, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton |
President Biden ordered health officials in a garbled speech given on Thursday to purchase and distribute an additional 500 million COVID-19 tests for free due to the Omicron variant surging across the nation in a move that many Americans see as doomed to failure.
Biden has already allocated 500 million free COVID tests and now he’s doubling down on the plan while advising people to Google where they can get them.
The Department of Defense, in coordination with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded the massive $51.6 million contract to Goldbelt Security, LLC, in Newport News, Virginia, for the delivery of over-the-counter COVID test kits. The Defense Department is stating that the procurement was funded through the American Rescue Plan Act.
“We’re seeing a real improvement in testing,” Biden proclaimed, asserting that his administration has made a “huge leap” in testing in January and that they are “on track” to unveil their website later this month. Americans will allegedly be able to order free testing kits from the site and have them delivered to their homes.
Biden’s announcement does not seem to be inspiring confidence in the American people.
