Why isn't the US reporting Omicron sub-variant surge?

What I reported on in this previous post has now been confirmed by the NYT Morning Newsletter: The US is not showing the Omicron sub-variant surge due to under-reporting. And that is caused by our policy of distributing those inaccurate at-home tests. Which has been the US strategy of re-opening businesses to boost the economy in an election year at the expense of our lives and health. Great job, your plan has succeeded. If you can call that success.

"The shift toward at-home testing in recent months means that a smaller share of actual Covid cases may be showing up in the data that government agencies report and news organizations like The Times publish. The government data relies on laboratory tests. [...] All of which raises the possibility that Covid cases really are surging now, even if the data doesn’t show it. Jessica Malaty Rivera of Boston Children’s Hospital told The Atlantic that the quality of current Covid data was 'abysmal.' Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former F.D.A. commissioner, told CNBC that he thought some parts of the country were 'dramatically' underreporting cases."
