began to convert testing facilities into vaccine facilities, then not enough people were vaccinated. now we see varians popping up. now we're in a position where the market is not able to meet the demand. we spoke to a western operations manager for one of the lab-based companies that does pcr testing to talk about the demand they're seeing, and they are going flat out. have a listen. >> two, three weeks ago across the board we were collecting about 25,000, 30,000 covid tests per day. we finished our day today with 120,000 samples collected across the nation. sample increases of about 300% in florida. texas seeing about 400%. southern california about 350% increases from last week alone. definitely seeing a big increase in sample volume. >> the market won't stand in and be ready for this omicron variant or the next variant.
