years into this and we're in a cul-de-sac on testing and masks. >> i feel the same way. we know that abbott threw away millions of tests over the summer because they thought the pandemic was coming to an end and there wasn't enough testing demand for the tests. right now two years in we're clear that there are surges. one, we're clear that coronavirus is here to stay. it's not endemic yet because right now virus cases are increasing exponentially. we're still very much in a pandemic, but i think that we as american public we need to really push our elected officials to get it right this time and that happens at a local, state and federal level. i think i need to see more urgency from this administration that, yes, it's great that we're getting these rapid tests but we don't need them in a few weeks. we need them right now. >> yeah. common sense advice you just gave. better mask, more tests faster
