Is the pandemic over?<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden: The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We\u2019re still doing a lotta work on it. It\u2019s\u2013 but the pandemic is over. if you notice, no one\u2019s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it\u2019s changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.<\/p>\n<p>That was just three weeks ago. What makes this an \u201cemergency\u201d now? Even with the CDC <em>still <\/em>reporting correlative data rather than causative, <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#ed-visits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ER visits with COVID diagnoses<\/a> are near a year-long low and dropping. <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#trends_dailycases_select_00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reported cases<\/a> are bottoming out as well, as are <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#trends_dailydeaths_select_00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correlated deaths<\/a> (still no breakout for causation), as are <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#new-hospital-admissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correlated hospital admissions<\/a>. Even <a href=\"https:\/\/covid.cdc.gov\/covid-data-tracker\/#wastewater-surveillance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wastewater surveillance<\/a> \u2014 which would take place regardless of emergency status \u2014 shows a decline in prevalence despite the addition of many new sites in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>So why is the pandemic over but not the emergency? For one thing, Biden still wants emergency cash from Congress:<\/p>\n<p>The White House has asked Congress for $22.4 billion in additional pandemic funding. Republican lawmakers have said the administration has untapped Covid-19 relief funds it should be using first. Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington and Brett Guthrie of Kentucky said Thursday that the administration has failed to provide a detailed plan to unwind the pandemic emergency.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Biden\u2019s extending the emergency to answer demands that Biden has no plans to unwind the emergency \u2014 even after admitting on national TV that \u201cthe pandemic is over.\u201d Only in Washington would that make any sense at all, and even then only in an administration as addled as Biden\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The emergency is over. The emergency powers should be rescinded, and Biden should seek funding through the normal budget process. Biden\u2019s extension of emergency status is about power, not public health.
