The Emergency Must Be Ended, Now
The Epoch Times ^ | Updated: January 24, 2022 | Go to Article

The time has come to terminate the pandemic state of emergency. It’s time to end the controls, the closures, the restrictions, the plexiglass, the stickers, the exhortations, the panic-mongering, the distancing announcements, the ubiquitous commercials, the forced masking, the vaccine mandates.

We don’t mean that the virus is gone—Omicron is still spreading wildly, and the virus may circulate forever. But with a normal focus on protecting the vulnerable, we can treat the virus as a medical rather than a social matter and manage it in ordinary ways. A declared emergency needs continuous justification, and that’s now lacking.

Over the last six weeks in the United States, the Delta variant strain—the most recent aggressive version of the infection—has according to the CDC been declining in both the proportion of infections (60 percent on Dec. 18 to 0.5 percent on Jan. 15) and the number of daily infected people (95,000 to 2,100). During the next two weeks, Delta will decline to the point that it essentially disappears like the strains before it.

If they man "nationally" then it will be difficult without competent leadership. As far as the state level, many have already done this

It ended almost two years ago for me when I saw dancing nurses and doctors at “overwhelmed” hospitals and two hospital ships that were empty.

The biggest mistake Trump made imho, was declaring a ‘state of emergency’ in 2020. When he did that, it triggered all the state governors/legislatures to declare/enact their own emergency plans. This resulted in the biggest power grab we’ve ever seen; giving rise to the tyrant-wannabes, especially in the blue states. As we see, they are not going to let go anytime soon, if ever.

Actually, DJT’s biggest mistake was *not* firing Fauci after he was insubordinate over HCQ.

Look, he apparently didn't realize what the ramifications were going to be by declaring it. He no doubt was 'encouraged' by his 'trustworthy' (/s) advisors to do so.

I see a lot of comments regarding how the insane left refuse to see or acknowledge truth. It seems to me there are quite a few conservatives that fall in that category.

I wasn't attacking Trump; just stating what happened.

Wish something could be done about brandon’s withholding of Medicare/Medicaid funds to health care institutions—which has caused the firing of thousands of health care workers.

It may have been a mistake, but it was understandable, given that at the time, we were thinking this virus was taking out about 5% of its victims or so. Praise be to the forward-thinking people — of which, sadly, I was not one — who bucked the resulting “system” and refused to knuckle under.

Yes, Trump gave the state one of the biggest booster shots ever.
