Biden will FINALLY lift COVID Emergencies on May 11 after more than THREE YEARS: White House urges 14-week draw down to deal with Title 42 at the border, student loans and hospitals


Joe Biden is finally putting an end to to COVID-19 national emergency on May 11 – eight months after declaring the pandemic was over.

The president informed Congress on Monday that he will end the twin national emergencies for addressing coronavirus more than three years after they were declared.

The White House wants a 14-week draw down of the policies and has warned Republicans that ending it immediately will have wide-ranging consequences.

Author’s Conclusion:
There is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. The low to moderate certainty of evidence means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited, and that the true effect may be different from the observed estimate of the effect. The pooled results of RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection.”

The authors spend two sentences (italics) qualifying and hedging and trying to downplay the actual results of their own study (bold).

I was wondering the exact same thing. I was picturing those misters at restaurants in places like Phoenix where they mist water over you to keep you cool... The potential evil in all of this is right there for everyone to see, but no one seems to care
Inhaled blockers??? Looks like we are close to having these guys going there. Also, he's complaining about having stockpiles of Paxlovid.

And hospitals will continue to get a 20% increase for a positive Covid test from Centers for Medicare Services until the end of the fiscal year that the emergency ends.

Tennessee woman who spent $21K COVID relief loan on a trip to Trump's Florida beach resort and cosmetic surgery applied for the cash while on supervised release after being JAILED for wire fraud

A Tennessee woman spent thousands in COVID relief loans on plastic surgery while staying at a Trump resort in Florida, all while being under supervision for wire fraud charges.

Leslie Bethea, 30, plead guilty to wire fraud after spending about $8,000 of a $21,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan she lied to obtain during the pandemic.

Bethea applied for that PPP loan - a fully forgivable loan intended to tide over people whose income was compromised by the pandemic - in March, 2021, just months after being released from prison early after serving a little over half of a two year sentence for a 2019 wire fraud charge.

SBA Won’t Even Try To Collect On PPP Loans That Are Supposed To Be Paid Back, Citing ‘Equity’

Inspector general says SBA is disregarding guidance and setting a precedent that will encourage fraud.

The federal government will not even attempt to recover some coronavirus-related loans that did not meet the conditions for forgiveness, in what could amount to the greenlighting of theft from an $800 billion program.

This is why the government shouldn’t be trusted to handle any more tax dollars than are necessary.

I called this two years ago (in this thread) as my wife is a teacher and I'm telling you now, it's going to get worse. As 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders move up, the gap between what they actually know and what they should know will only widen unless sweeping changes are made across the board. And why I agree to some extent that the education system could be better, the most significant issue is the lack of parental responsibility, especially in the lower grades.
