The Truth About the End of the COVID Pandemic.

President Biden quietly ended the national emergency declared by his predecessor, Donald Trump, on March 13, 2020, after 1,124 days. The move was largely symbolic, as the national emergency had little impact on how hospitals and doctors operated. However, a parallel health emergency is slated to end next month, cutting off federal funding for some public health measures. The coronavirus will cease to be a “pandemic” when the World Health Organization drops the designation, but the virus is still an ongoing threat, with about 120,000 people across the United States contracting the coronavirus each week and about 1,700 dying weekly from the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
