Of course, the president and his team have already leaked all the important details of what he's prepared to say this afternoon to the press, and we reported on them this morning. As we said, the administration is preparing to roll out a new federal plan to swiftly get 500M tests into the hands of Americans, and place army-trained medical personnel into vulnerable hospitals across the country, among other measures. But what's been especially notable about recent developments (especially for anybody who saw the tripled-vaxxed Jim Cramer's rant on CNBC Tuesday morning) is that the White House appears to finally be backing away from its strategy of blaming all the nation's troubles on the unvaccinated, and instead acknowledging that everybody will likely get sick in the end anyway - but we have plenty of vaccines and drugs that can be taken to try and deal with that, for those who are at risk. The announcement notably comes as the FDA prepares to approve new pills from Merck and Pfizer that treat patients already sickened with COVID, patients who are specifically deemed to be high risk. But we wonder: will this narrative shift provoke the press into pressing Biden to explain whether all these breakthrough infections are still somehow the unvaccinated population's fault? He will finally address the public Tuesday, after yet another White House press briefing, where his chief spokeswoman Jen Psaki has absorbed all of the blows from the press about the collapse of Biden's 'Build Back Better' Agenda. In addition to the tests, here's a breakdown of the other measures being ordered by Biden (text courtesy of the New York Times): Biden intends to direct his defense secretary, Lloyd J. Austin III, to “ready an additional 1,000 service members — military doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical personnel — to deploy to hospitals during January and February, as needed,” according to a fact sheet prepared by the White House. At the same time, Biden will announce that six federal emergency response teams, with more than 100 health professionals and paramedics, will deploy immediately to six states: Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Hampshire and Vermont. Already, 300 federal medical workers have been deployed since Omicron was discovered in late November. Biden will also direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency to work with hospitals across the country to make plans to expand capacity. FEMA will also stand up new pop-up vaccination clinics, the officials said, to handle hundreds of additional vaccinations per week. The government is also sending ventilators to the states - last week, officials said, it sent 330 - and will have hundreds of ambulances and emergency medical teams, overseen by FEMA, at the ready "so that if one hospital fills up, they can transport patients to open beds in other facilities," according to the fact sheet. It was not clear who would staff those teams, but the fact sheet said that even now, "30 paramedics are heading to New Hampshire, 30 to Vermont and 20 to Arizona, and 30 ambulances are headed to New York and eight to Maine."
