“Biden says 'the pandemic is
over' even as death toll, costs mount”
U.S. President Joe Biden said in
an interview aired on Sunday that "the pandemic is over," even though
the country continues to grapple with coronavirus infections that kill hundreds
of Americans daily. "The pandemic is over," Biden said during an
interview conducted with CBS' "60 Minutes" program on Wednesday on
the sidelines of the Detroit auto show, an event which drew thousands of
visitors. read more "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing
a lotta work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing
masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it's
changing." The toll of the COVID-19 pandemic has diminished significantly
since early in Biden's term when more than 3,000 Americans per day were dying,
as enhanced care, medications and vaccinations have become more widely
available.
But nearly 400 people a day
continue to die from COVID-19 in the United States, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Biden spent more than two weeks
isolated in the White House after two bouts with COVID-19, starting in July.

said the mild cases were a testament to the improvements in care during his
presidency. Biden has asked Congress for $22.4 billion more in funding to
prepare for a potential fall case surge.
^ This seems more like a Political Stunt
rather than an actual announcement. Biden got Covid twice just this past July
and around 400 Americans still die of Covid every day. ^
