"Endemic vs. epidemic vs. pandemic: What you need to know."
* Endemic: The amount of a particular disease that is usually present in a community. It's also called a baseline.
* Epidemic: An increase — often sudden — in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in a specific area.
* Pandemic: An epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents and affects many people.

"HHS [Health and Human Services] Declares That COVID-19 Remains a Public Health Emergency (PHE) —For Now."
"HHS has not formally communicated how much longer it will maintain the PHE past October [2022], but has reiterated its commitment to state governors to provide a 60-day notice of termination or expiration of the PHE. Therefore, if HHS intends to curtail the PHE before October 13, 2022, it will have to give that notice by August 15, 2022. ***Providers should prepare for the inevitable end of the PHE.***"

Medical and Public Health experts are usually the ones that make the authoritative determinations about the transition from pandemic to endemic and they do not always agree precisely. (Statistical disagreements like, "this indicator is now at 6%, so the pandemic is over" versus "not until that indicator is below 5% will it will be over" although on a more complex scale.)

Biden expressed his NON-MEDICAL opinion that because the pandemic PEAK had long passed and life was returning to normal or a new normal that the pandemic was, therefore, over and that Covid is now endemic, like the flu. Biden has observed that hundreds of millions of vaccinations, taking sensible face mask and hand washing precautions, etc., has driven down Covid illness and death. The WHO, HHS and other medical authorities say that the pandemic phase is almost over but not just yet.

Biden did not say that the pandemic phase was over due to a miracle. It is over due to public policies and programs to bring it to an end. Unlike ...

"In 2020, Trump said of Covid: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.""

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Trumpists spent months denying that Covid was even a problem and were reluctant and late to declare it was a global pandemic but are now insisting that if Biden says it's no longer in the pandemic stage that it MUST still be in the pandemic stage but are still against vaccinations, masks, social distancing, etc..

How many times can they do this?

From the article

“But according to CNN, an administration official told the outlet that "the President's comments do not mark a change in policy toward the administration's handling of the virus, and there are no plans to lift the Public Health Emergency."  

Does Joe know? I mean when your a puppet do you really know how tight the strings are?  

Covid can’t be over the left needs it to create a panic so that they can stuff the ballot boxes again in November.
