testing site in miami. layla, how long is the wait for people there? you know, it kind of varies around what time you come, but bottom line it is hours. people have been telling us anywhere from two to three hours, and, you know, this is one of the busiest sites in miami-dade county. it is run by n ho mi health. they tell me that this site in particular, they administered nearly 9,000 tests yesterday. countywide 60,000, and let me put that in perspective for you. when you compare that to the last peak of the delta wave, that s about a 50% increase, so what does that mean? well, that means they have had to hire more workers? they have seen about a 50% increase in how many workers they have had to staff here to try to meet that demand, that increased demand in testing. they are also planning on opening more sites. they opened two new sites today and they plan to open more over the coming days and extending house, so the company that runs

layla santiago fours in florida, thanks so much. let s talk more about all of this. joining us now is dr. michael menna, the chief science officer for e-med. thanks for being here. i want to get your reaction to the new cdc guidance that elizabeth walked us through. do you think this was the right move at the right time? i think the cdc is doing everything obviously in its power to try to keep society running, so on that front i think this is a good approach, but i do believe that this is a poor approach unless we have evidence that somebody is negative at that five-day mark when they leave isolation. we have tests. we have rapid tests. the u.s. could have these in much greater numbers, and this would be a very good use for these tests to say if you go into isolation, get an isolation kit. it comes with an n-95 mask amend two rapid tests that you can use on day five and if you re

that s incredible. cdc is now saying, hmm, we want to make an adjustment. it was actually only 23%, so that s obviously a huge difference. they are also saying that for the week of december 19th through the 25th, 59% of new cases were omicron, so this is way less omicron than was previously thought. you might think how did that happen? a couple of things here. these are all estimateses. this is not an exact science. remember, the cdc doesn t do genetic typing on every single case of covid-19. they do a sample and then project. it looks like their projections weren t quite right. it s important because policy decisions get made based on these estimates. jessica? all right. on that data. elizabeth cohen, thanks so much for breaking that down for us. you know, regardless of this new guidance many americans are still out there anxiously trying to find out if they are covid positive. there s still some major issues with access to testing across the country. cnn s layla santiago is at a

just learned today and a result of that volume that you see in the demand for testing. all right, layla santiago, thanks so much for that report. joining me now, dr. anthony fauci, the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases and chief medical adviser to dr. biden. let s begin with these new guidelines. why is the cdc now changing these recommended isolation times for people who test positive for the virus but don t have symptoms? i guess the simple question is why now. the reason is that with the sheer volume of new cases that we are having and that we expect to continue with omicron, one of the things we want to be careful of is that we don t have so many people out. i mean, obviously if you have symptoms, you should not be out. but if you are asymptomatic and you re infected, we want to get people back to the jobs.
