President Biden said Tuesday he will purchase half a billion rapid coronavirus tests that Americans can order for free delivery to their homes, deploy the military to overwhelmed hospitals and stand up federal testing sites as he scrambles to rein in an omicron variant that’s become dominant and exhausting Americans who wanted a relaxing Christmas. Mr. Biden said several testing sites would debut in New York City before the holiday but the website offering at-home tests won’t be available until January, as Americans find bare pharmacy shelves ahead of holiday gatherings. “Bottom line is it’s a lot better than it was,” Mr. Biden said, later dismissing the idea he failed

I see that there is a pandemic of one death worldwide from this devastating virus variant. I hope that our pResident isn't to frightened over this.

Maybe the military can start testing each and every one of the illegals in the country weekly. They best just STF away from me though.

Biden you cheater, good luck with deploying Americans to spy on us and force-vax us because there are way too many Americans who were fired for not wanting the vax. And still many others who simply don't want to work for a living and couldn't care less about the vax. You made this chaos for yourself, biteme.

Hitler would be so proud of the modern American Fasicist (Demon-Rat) Party!!! Stalin, Mao, and Castro would be pretty darned impressed with the Demon-Rats too!!!
The founding fathers of this great republic, however, are spinning in their graves at the abuse of our constitution by these evil lie-beral dictator-wanna-be's!!!!

Pledges are not worth his f@rt! He can shove his pledges where sun doesn't shine. Rapid home tests are "out of stock" in most of the places.

This is just another power grab. After all, if the virus was so dangerous he would not have opened the southern border wide and let anyone in with no testing and no vaccination. He also would not have sent them all over USA with no testing and no vaccination. I'm taking it as seriously as he does.

Did he buy those faulty test kits from that Maryland company?
And, I have to wonder, they made me, if every test will come back positive just to prove their point so they can then install more draconian voting procedures for 2022.

Also forgot to add - the USA has the highest deaths from Covid in the world. What are we doing wrong? Anything to do with the shots? They obviously don't work, along with the masks and social distancing. Why is the press still covering for this regime?

Maybe they could drop some of those rapid tests down by the border? I agree w/posters. I would be afraid these tests are already contaminated because they need you sick so bad.

Better testing is needed because the current testing doesn't know Covid from a cold. As for the military involvement, what exactly are they going to do that can't be done by the private sector. If people want a covid test, then send the tests to the local drug stores for distribution. People can't find them anywhere.

The military is there to use force. That is what they are trained to do.

Dr. Makary said yesterday on Fox that they should not be counting cases (i.e.,positive tests)… They should be counting hospitalizations.
The push for tests is intended to ramp up the “cases” count, which gives Zhou Biden & Co the “right” to ramp up mandates and restrictions on our freedom
Conventional wisdom: Don’t test unless there are symptoms.

If one has cold symptoms, that is the time to test.

He said dozens of ambulances are heading to New York and Maine to deal with a surge...
And where are these ambulances coming from? What if someone in one of those areas now doing without has a real emergency? And, seriously, do covid symptoms require non-ambulatory transportation?
As for the military, Trump set up a half-dozen field hospitals in and around the metropolitan area which the mayor and schumer refused to use, all while bashing the President for not doing enough to help New Yorkers.

Xiden is stoking, as most politicians in blue states are, hysteria. Restrict everyone before the Christmas holidays, deprive people of enjoyment of their families and the season. They believe it will make people angry enough to take action on the unvaxxed, as if it's not punitive enough out there. Of course, the vaxxed don't realize that they are the ones with the long term risk of injury and adverse effects (but they will). And also coming down right and left with the Moronic variant.
And all those free test kits? First, relatively low levels of reliability--if you test positive, you have to take a PCR (which is now off the market). Finding traces of virus up your nose doesn't mean you're sick. In any case, probably pre-loaded with 'positive' results, and probably requiring upon use to report the results, identified, into a database so they know who you are.
The end game is sending anyone deemed a deplorable to a labor camp.

I remember that anytime Trump even mentioned the word military and assist with anything having to do with civilians and Covid or the border. Now, Biden can't wait to unleash the military to help assist with vaccinations and testing (enforce) and the media and liberals are cheering.

BTW, if you have a cold, it doesn't mean you have COVID. A cold is another coronavirus, but if you're not running a fever, no sore throat, and not coughing, you've got a cold. Those of us with indoor allergies get stuffy noses and scratchy throats all the time.

I wonder if these soldiers have much training in administering vaccinations. You don't stick and inject even into a muscle--a proper vaccination is done with aspiration first so that the nurse or tech knows that they haven't hit a blood vessel. Direct injection into the bloodstream may account for many of the adverse reactions. For more on this, view Dr. John Campbell (a GP in the UK) on this topic.

You've heard of a 'scattergun approach'? This is -0's 'scatterbrain approach'. And the only reasono test invaders would have been to know which ones were not worth using to spread the disease into Patriot areas.

TOTAL failure. This non-vaccine shot does NOT prevent the disease, or transmission.
It MIGHT, possibly get lesser symptoms in the folks infected, but that isn't well established, either. Many folks are hospitalized after The Shots and getting infected.

If Biden wants to deploy the military inside the USA, what he should have done is send a brigade of combat engineers with all their heavy construction equipment to Western Kentucky to help out the people and towns that were hit by the recent tornados.

All this for a variant that produces common cold symptoms? This is weird stuff.
I think that the only way to stop the hysteria is to ban the mass testing.

As I understand it, the quickie PCR tests cannot distinguish between the variants of Kung Flu (Corona viruses)
It takes genome sequencing to do that. And that is done in a lab.
Therefore, it is Biden-foolish to give out home tests, as far as I can see.

An experienced RN told me that the simple home tests will show most everyone who uses those home tests and who has a non COVID respiratory ailment to be positive with COVID, thus fraudulently jacking up the number of people being found to have COVID through those tests.
