* Biden repeatedly referred to the at-home COVID tests as 'pills', saying that the administration has ordered 500 million of them 

* Earlier on Wednesday, Pfizer was granted federal approval for its antiviral COVID-19 pill for people at risk of severe illness, which likely confused Biden 

* After the interview, CNN's Jeff Zeleny said that Biden 'seemed confused' in the interview about the at-home tests and the antiviral pills

A CNN corresponded said Wednesday that Joe Biden 'seemed confused' in his ABC News interview earlier this week, when the president appeared to mix up COVID-19 at-home tests and antiviral pills. 

Biden, 79, spoke to ABC's David Muir for 20 minutes in an interview that aired on Wednesday and defended his administration against criticism of its handling of the pandemic and readiness for the rapidly spreading Omicron variant, but also admitting that there were certain mistakes made. 

When asked about complaints that the lines to get tested for COVID-19 were excessive, with waits of over five hours in New York City as one example, Biden said that 500 million at-home tests had been ordered.
