President Joe Biden admitted this week that he had failed to anticipate the omicron coronavirus surge, as he struggled to explain why it could take weeks or longer for 500 million at-home tests to be available for Americans.

“[Y]ou could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago,” he said. The reason he failed was that his administration failed to learn from the successful example of President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed.

Trump was criticized at the start of the pandemic for failing to produce enough tests. Biden attacked Trump over testing, and promised to focus on it in his administration — a promise he failed to keep.
