‘Nothing’s been good enough’: Biden addresses US Covid testing shortage before holidays
The Guardian says Pressed about US testing shortages amid the omicron surge, Biden conceded in an interview that “nothing’s been good enough”.
In an interview with ABC’s David Muir on Wednesday, the president signaled that the country was in a better shape now than last Christmas but said he wished he had ordered free at-home tests earlier than this week. A surging demand for tests, driven by the new variant and the winter holidays, has led to long lines and shortages around the country.
Meanwhile, hospitals in many parts of the US are once again strained or struggling as Covid patients crowd emergency rooms and intensive care units.
