When President Joe Biden took office last January amid a winter Covid-19 surge, he vowed an all-out federal assault aimed at vanquishing the virus.
The new reality has further darkened the mood among White House aides already frustrated by the lack of progress toward ending a pandemic many initially believed could be dispatched within a year. It’s also accelerated the administration’s pivot toward preparing people to live with the virus indefinitely.
Yet even as the president sought to project calm, he conceded there was widespread confusion among Americans about the virus's spread. And health officials inside and outside his administration privately acknowledge that there’s little new left for the federal government to do but hold on and hope the worst is over soon.
And despite directing tens of millions of dollars in funding to address the problem, the government still lacks the testing and tracing capabilities needed to closely track the virus’s spread — leaving officials scrambling to catch up as infections soar beyond theWell past the point of averting Omicron's surge, top officials have instead tried to publicly calm fears while ramping up efforts to vaccinate more people and limiting the potential for catastrophic health and economic damage.
Health officials have also highlighted research showing the variant is less severe than its predecessors, making it less likely to drive a similarly astronomical spike in hospitalizations and deaths even as infections rise.
When the crisis came 'again', the most powerful institution in this society chose to surrender

Persistence is victory
It’s because of gaslighters like this, not Biden, that MAGAs haven’t gotten vaccinated.
We set a record for quitting jobs in November and this is their response U.S. lawmakers are discussing another possible round of COVID-19 stimulus spending for businesses, seeking to blunt the impact of the fast-spreading Omicron variant, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday
Indisputable fact: had the government done nothing at all, it would have ended in 2020.
Good news of sort seems the latest mutation not as hard on children Might be able to end the mutations if people would stop playing politics with vax & masks but not likely as long as Trumpers keep it politicized like DeSantis & others have
More lies
When even left leaning news outlets have to report this you know the potus is doing an awful job
Little more money hat they can do with the press sending propaganda. What’s left to do? What is it that the Press is dying for this administration to do? You are like trump, money over country.
🤣🤣🤣💯✅
Welch08457391 please help us we are very poor
The republicans won’t allow this to happen! America would have been the world model of excellence in fighting pandemic’s had they followed Bidens guidance,instead they decided to follow trump & as with anything trump touch’s Americans pandemic response has failed miserably!!!!
Just keep repeating the Mantra-Wear a Mask, Wash Your Hands and Social Distance.
The keyword is NEW. As in not already in the plan to contain it. Containing it would require behavioral change in people that are least prone to behave. Politico's spinning isn't going to change that.
It’s up to the ppl now…the gov’t has done their part. We are going into yr 3 and ppl are still wearing the mask under their nose, not vaccinated and not following up with a booster. Oh and body count rising.
No plan...
LOL
Don't sit back without doing this Bitcoin business because this the third time I'm earning $6,720 from an investment of $1000 trading Bitcoin with tyron_robert7 you guys should be trading as well..
And by the way, just so you know, this shitstorm of a pandemic is only beginning. Wait till you see what’s coming after omicron….
Complete bullshit. The Biden administration should have flooded the country with free N95 respirators and at home Covid tests. They are half assing their way through this. It’s going to cost Democrats dearly.
Here's an idea: CDC stop being shills and come clean. The vaccines have limited effectiveness; better than nothing but not a 'shield'. Virus mainly kills elderly. Few issues with children [similar to flu] & mandates for them are unnecessary. 1-in-M chance by touch or outdoors.
Still better than a Republican President.
Do like the Colorado governor did. Declare it over. End all mandates. If your scared stay home. Rest of us want to rebuild our communities.
So... no more 'shut down the virus,' eh?
Sorry had to spent all the trillions on bailouts for Wall Street and the ultra rich instead of pandemic response...
I mean, what else can the Feds do? We have a vaccine, people refuse to mask up and social distance, GOP doesn't want assistance/handouts and insist the economy stay open. At this point, those who insist on not getting vaxxed are to die out of stubbornness.
If they die... They die..
We’ve been saying this all along, but of course Dems think government can solve every problem.
