It\u2019s very difficult to just walk into a store and get one. And what we\u2019re hearing from officials like Dr. Fauci is that they believe they\u2019re gonna have this solved by mid-January, in a few weeks. But, how critical is the window that we\u2019re missing right now for testing?<\/p>\n<p><strong>DR. ASHISH JHA:&nbsp;<\/strong>Oh, I think it\u2019s incredibly critical, and I cannot believe this is where we are almost two years into the pandemic. Everybody saw it coming. We knew we needed more tests. I think the administration dropped the ball on this. They focus a lot on vaccines, which is terrific, vaccines are a really important part of this, but did not pay enough attention to testing. I think it\u2019s been really costly in this holiday season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Appearing Tuesday on CNN\u2019s New Day,\u00a0Brown University School of Public Health Dean Dr. Ashish Jha said President Joe Biden \u201cdropped the ball\u201d on coronavirus testing.
