"WHO Declares End to COVID Global Health Emergency -- NOT to the Pandemic

Per STAT: "The World Health Organization ended the Covid-19 global health emergency on Friday, saying it was time for countries to transition from treating Covid as an emergency to dealing with it as a disease that is here to stay.

The decision was made on the advice of a panel of independent experts, the so-called Covid-19 emergency committee, which met Thursday. Though a couple of members of the committee were reportedly hesitant about the move, the majority agreed Covid no longer meets the criteria of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

...

Tedros and other WHO officials emphasized that while they were ending the PHEIC, the pandemic is not over. The WHO does not declare the start of a pandemic and it will not declare an end to it either. Still, a Covid-weary world will likely interpret this announcement that way."

Oh, you just know Americans will interpret it that way, just like they've been interpreting Biden's assertion from last year that "the pandemic is over."  There are fewer masks and more mitigations now than ever, and hardly any COVID data being published, so we don't even have an accurate picture of what's truly happening in this country.  

Brace yourself!
