C'mon Kamala - you can do better than that...

 

Some might say that that's a legitimate question...
Kamala Harris on Friday appeared to blame scientists for the United States' failure to be better prepared for Omicron - insisting that the virologists 'upon whose advice and direction we have relied' were blind to the next wave. Harris, in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, said that 

the Biden administration 'didn't see' Delta and Omicron coming. 

She spoke as the new variant was confirmed in 42 states, and causing surges in cases from coast to coast. Deaths are up eight per cent from last week. New York City was particularly hard-hit, again, with the number of cases doubling in three days. Broadway theaters are closing their doors, and restaurants and bars are shuttering, due to COVID outbreaks among staff. Questions have been asked as to why the U.S. was not swifter to react, when the Omicron variant was noted first in South Africa, and then caused havoc in the U.K. 'We didn't see Delta coming,' Harris told the paper. 'I think most scientists did not - upon whose advice and direction we have relied - didn't see Delta coming.
