CBS reported CBS’s official launch of COVID.gov the day before. Evening NewsThe story about its launch was missing a crucial detail. CBS doesn’t want to tell you about the website’s reported problems. It makes Biden and his friends look terrible.
CBS News National Correspondent Manuel Bojorquez reports on the launch a website where Americans can place orders for COVID testing to be sent to their residences.
The federal government’s site covidtests.gov to order fast tests is now live, despite long queues at certain testing sites. You can order as many as four tests for your household and they will be shipped within 7 to 12 days.
The report did not mention how many test orderrs are having problems processing their orders. Some people, for example, who are living in apartments cannot submit orders as the website does not recognize their address.
ABC deserves credit where credit is due World News TonightThey covered it on Tuesday’s broadcast. Stephanie Ramos, ABC News Network correspondent on website glitches.
Families all over the country have already placed their first order. Apartment dwellers have no problems. Other tenants have trouble ordering to the exact same address. Netia McCray attempted to order for relatives with elderly who reside in apartments
Since tests can only be ordered by four people per family, residents may not order test if another family in the same unit orders four. Multiple apartment units are not recognized by the website. CBS cannot explain the situation to its viewers because it is too complex. This would be embarrassing for their friends in the Biden government, so they prefer to hide it from viewers.

MANUEL BOJORQUEZ : Hello, Norah. Despite the increase in cases, testing facilities had to close over the weekend because of the snowstorm. There could also be severe weather this weekend. The federal government has a solution for tonight. The federal government’s site covidtests.gov, which allows you to quickly order tests online, is now live. Orders of up to four tests can be placed per household and will arrive within 7 to 12 days. This is the latest effort by the federal government to decrease hospitalizations. Omicron could be more deadly than Omicron. Mid-march could see an additional 50,000 Americans die, according to models.
