Wanting to have a robust testing regime, if you tested somebody that were positive, it drove the number up. omicron exploded, we were equipped. there were lines all over new york city and all over the country. i must say it was shocking that the biden administration allowed it to happen. how do we make sure this never happen again? >> i still cant understand it was virtually impossible to go to healthcare office to go to an urgent care to get any kind of tests or even purchase a rapid test over ...

Order to get past omicron. what were suggesting is thats for this immediate moment but you need to plan today for three months from now so we are not caught in the same problem. i think one of the problems we have with the testing regime is we didnt plan in june/july for how to properly use at-home tests, mixed with pcrs and make sure that the whole system was operating smoothly, and then connecting it to any potential therapies we had -- at that time, the monoclonal therapies. so, if we plan to...

Review means that we will be staying at alert level the ave you changes to introduce this week. —— alert level number two. every past days we have made some changes to the testing regime and the self isolation rules. because cases of coronavirus are so high in the community at the moment, we no longer need routinely to take a follow—up pcr test after a positive lateral flow test result. 0ur wales correspondent hywel griffith is in cardiff. no changes to the coronavirus restrictions, any su...

For more testing. the governor and i have had multiple conversations, so we are in a good, i think, place with both our governor and the white house. but fundamentally, anderson, as you know, there is a shortage of testing nation beside. we are going to provide as much testing as we possibly can but recognizing that, right now, across the country there is a shortage of tests. but even working within those constraints, and we put on the table i think a testing regime that will address a lot of th...

Right now to get past where we are? >> well, unfortunately, if you vaccinate today, the people who were unvaccinated -- who account for about 75% of the hospitalizations -- its not really gonna make a big difference over the next month because they need a second shot and then 14 days after the second shot. public health measures that weve mentioned -- better-air quality, masking, not going into crowded-indoor spaces -- those are really important measures in order to get past omicron. what were s...

Per person, 32 for a family of four. thats great except you have to be able to get them and after the eight are done, do you get another eight? because where is the testing regime that we are following as a country, only symptomatic or we test everybody? >> i want to swing this a little bit if i can, brett, we talk about the chicago schools are going back to school tomorrow, struck a deal with the chicago teachers union, thinks kids should be in school, education secretary, the c.d.c., and yet t...

Without a good nurse by its side. >> now, lets talk about paxlovid, dr. topol. this really does look encouraging and really does seem like theres two keys here. a testing regime that allows people to know they have covid early so that it can be taken with the onset of symptoms. and a supply and mechanisms of distribution that can meet the need. >> right. well, its more than encouraging id say, chris, because in fact this is the biggest advance weve had since vaccines in the two years of the pand...

Unvaccinated communities. three, we should get tested. the administration has a challenge. fiu laid out very clearly right before christmas about the failures around the testing. hopefully even if we are to vanish omicron, which all the experts are saying from whomever you may believe. dr. fauci or dr. gottlieb, they believe we are near the end of it. i hope the administration will continue to invest in a testing regime largely because doctors redfield and admiral giroir believe we need that goi...
