The fallout from President Joe Biden’s assertion on Sunday that the pandemic is over continued into Tuesday, with experts warning that winter may bring new variants and more infections.
The Washington Post published two editorials: In one, contributing columnist Leana S. Wen argued that Biden is correct that the emergency phase is over and with it the true crisis. In the second editorial, the editorial board took the view that with deaths in the U.S. averaging more than 400 a day, the pandemic “is surely not over.”
“The average of new daily cases is 60,000, way higher than in the spring. Weighed down by the virus, average life expectancy of Americans fell in 2020 and 2021, the sharpest two-year decline in nearly 100 years. COVID-19 is the third-leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer. Long COVID — those suffering a constellation of maladies after the immediate symptoms dissipate — threatens millions of people,” the board wrote.
Biden has not ended the official pandemic emergency, but once he does, some 15 million people living in the U.S. will lose Medicaid coverage, the board noted. The rationale for the pause in student loan repayment will be removed and the case for Trump-era border restrictions will disappear, the board wrote, adding: “All this policy transition must not be done carelessly or hastily.”
But even more worrisome is the pushback Biden’s comment is likely to trigger from Congress as his government seeks funding for vaccines, testing and therapeutics in the next phase of the fight against the virus.
“’The pandemic is over’ sounds nice, so desperately welcome. But we are not there, yet,” said the board.

I find it interesting that Zhou Xiden has not walked this back
So, if you just space out the boosters every 3 weeks you should survive the winter. Now, lack of electricity may be a problem in other aspects but at least it MAY not be CONvid that gets ya. 🔬😷🚫💉💊🐂💩
As will be springtime and new variants of taxpayer fleecing and bull$hittery promoted by the media to run interference.
What happened to “Fall and Winter of Misery, Death and Destruction”?
am i missing something or is your chart missing some months?
What nonsense. The usual inane suspects try to divert your attention from the real issue. The man is not there, there is nothing to respond to from a senile man supposedly serving as president. Jackass Joe is not in charge...
New variants. The classic ‘flu’ has many, many ‘new’ variants every 6 months or so. When they announce ‘get your flu shot’ every year, they are guessing which variant will occur. The Chicom Covid will continue to mutate as all viruses do.
As more and more evidence of the maximum efforts to hide / deny / delete the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquin and Ivermectin, they RATS will scurry away, or just continue to lie, and lie, and lie.
not you — I don’t have the fall months (graphs) bookmarked. Case and case-fatality was worst in the preceding months.
He did walk it back today.
He lost his directions
“Experts”. Pfffffffft.
Well, looked here, Joe told the truth.
“He did walk it back today.”
I did not see that.
oh noes! NOT even LESS deadly variants than the ones that now are almost 100% survivable! Gosh=- whatever are we gonna do?
The experts are no longer useful to the left. They will be discarded for new experts.
