The US developed coronavirus vaccines in record time last year.
But the process of getting those shots into people's arms is going horrendously slow, just as more Americans are dying from the virus than ever before.
The blame lies with a president who either forgot — or didn't care enough — to finish off the country's vaccination plan, setting the US on the back foot.

You should self-isolate for 5 to 7 days before getting tested for COVID-19 and stay home until you get your results.
That might require quarantining after a possible exposure or planning ahead before traveling.
Testing too early, or seeing people while you wait to get tested, means your results won't catch your most recent exposures.
Going out into the world before you get your results back could also invalidate a negative test.
