Biden Keeps Falling Behind on the Pandemic

“The U.S. is facing an overwhelming surge of cases driven by the Omicron variant less than six months after President Biden celebrated ‘Independence from Covid-⁠19,’ and experts say the administration could have done more to better prepare the country,” Axios reports.

“A common theme is that the Biden administration has been reactive, chasing the latest Covid crises rather than getting ahead of them.”

“Some experts say the administration’s cardinal pandemic sin has been moving too slowly, while others say it’s over-relying on vaccines. But there’s widespread agreement that the administration should have made cheap, at-home rapid tests more widely available months ago.”
