President Joe Biden said the U.S. national emergency that was declared in early 2020 due to COVID-19 will be extended beyond March 1, citing what he called a “risk to the public health and safety.”
In a letter released on the White House website, Biden told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that “there remains a need to continue this national emergency.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant risk to the public health and safety of the Nation. More than 900,000 people in this Nation have perished from the disease, and it is essential to continue to combat and respond to COVID-19 with the full capacity and capability of the Federal Government,” he wrote, adding that his office has “determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared” almost two years ago.
As of late last year, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Johns Hopkins University showed that there were 60,000 more COVID-19 deaths under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump had declared a national emergency, which allowed the freeing up of about $50 billion in federal aid.
The emergency would have been automatically terminated unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the president sent a notice to Congress stating it would continue beyond the anniversary date.
“For this reason, the national emergency declared on March 13, 2020, and beginning March 1, 2020, must continue in effect beyond March 1, 2022,” Biden wrote in another statement, adding that the notice will be published in the Federal Register.
His decision to extend the emergency comes as several Democratic governors moved to rescind COVID-19 mandates, including mask rules, in recent days. The governors of New York and Massachusetts announced last week that they would end certain mask mandates in their states, following similar moves by New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Delaware, and Oregon.
Meanwhile, federal health officials last week indicated during a White House briefing that they were preparing for the next phase of the pandemic, as Omicron cases have dropped.
One of those officials, White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci, told MNSBC on Feb. 15 that he doesn’t believe political sentiment is the reason mandates are being dropped nationwide.
Some critics have said, however, that Democratic leaders are turning away from COVID-19 rules because they fear losing control in either the House or Senate in the 2022 midterms.
A Jan. 31 Monmouth University Poll showed that about 70 percent of Americans agree with the statement, “It’s time we accept that COVID is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives.”
He’ll go full dictator before the year is out. Y’all hide and watch.
I know for certain one thing will happen: hypochondriac vaccine rah-rahs like you will still be peddling fear.
Can you say mail in voting?
Health / Safety and we will
Stomp Your Head if You disagree with us!
Who knows,
Flying Monkeys out our Butt
I thought he said he was going to deal with this.
Oh, wait. It’s not summer yet.
When the case rate drops off with the warmer weather, the dems will declare victory over it as if they were responsible for its demise with their brilliant handling of the so-called pandemic.
Just in time for mid-terms.
The the SHTF for real.
Covid was manmade.. doctors who knew fauci in the 90s say he had a goal to come up with a virus and kill mankind.
He locked up meds that would have saved thousands and they said he should be charged with murder.
Masks are a joke
Mandates are control.
They will attempt to send us to camps. There is no stopping this criminal regime.
Virus mutations always become more transmissible but less deadly. It’s called Science®️. So you’re cowering in fear for nothing. 🤣
biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he opened our southern border and spread over 2,000,000 nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while the cdc and world health organization silently sit back and watch...
This is probably just to distribute more “vaccinations”; the enemedia is pretending COVID restrictions are loosening but the worst of them all (vax requirements) haven’t been loosened anywhere (to my knowledge).
Truckers won’t make it to DC.
They announce their plans...
I bet feds will do something unexpected.
Canada was the 'test run' ... that's why Biden's advisers were in Canada several weeks ago, telling Trudolt what to do.
The Biden mis-Administration is going to try that same shit here. We all know it. Anyone who doesn't is room temperature, an IQ of 78 or a complete Communist/Fascist asshole who doesn't belong consuming the same air as the rest of us.
Imagine? One does not need to imagine. Here's the alpha, beta, delta, all the way through to omicron variant deaths summary of the last twenty-six months.
As of 21 February 2022,
( 935,336 US deaths over six-months / 331,449,281 population of US ) x 100 = 0.282 % mortality rate.
Source: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/
The CDC site shows 930,811, something less than Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center.
( 5,888,779 global deaths / 7,928,690,901 global population ) x 100 = 0.074 % mortality rate.
The "event" has required over two years to tally the "deadly" numbers which "officially" testify again and again the above mortality rates are "officially" correct.
Imagine the mortality rates which we already find from "official" data being the basis for your imaginings.
It could prove an antidote to so much fear.
Speaking of the death figure, from last summer...
https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20210629/fema-amends-covid-19-funeral-assistance-policy
“This policy change was made after consulting with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention officials and other health experts. The new policy provides applicants, as well as medical authorities, coroners and jurisdictions, flexibility to attribute a death to COVID-19 without amending the death certificate. The change also provides flexibility with documentation for the period before the CDC-published and implemented COVID-19 death certificate guidance in the spring of 2020.”
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that the stats are crap.
All of them.
According to the CDC, only 6% of people who died actually died FROM Covid, not just WITH it. (The other 94% had two or more comorbidities.) That would put the death toll FROM Covid at about 54,000. That's no real consolation to those who lost loved ones, but the true number isn't what's being peddled.
The Dims used Covid to pummel Trump, but in doing so they created a monster that has come back to haunt them.
Going for Broke.
