WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden informed Congress on Monday that he will end the twin national emergencies for addressing COVID-19 on May 11, as most of the world has returned closer to normalcy nearly three years after they were first declared.

Any guesses on when they stop publishing numbers entirely? I feel like that's the point where I'm going to be completely screwed.

      This was Biden at July 4th 2021, declaring masks were no longer necessary. This was Biden in peak Omicron January 2022, when the CDC expressed excitement that only elderly and immunocompromised people are dying. This was Biden in autumn 2022, declaring the pandemic over. This will be Biden in May 2023, declaring the emergency is over.

          It is 2024 and COVID is now over

          There is a growing number of young people having heart attacks and strokes for some mysterious reason. Life expectancy continues to plummet. Experts attribute this to people developing immunity debt and bad eating habits during the lockdowns.

          It is 2025 and COVID is now over

          Cancer rates are showing dramatic increases in younger and younger demographics. Flu season continues to get deadlier. Could this be because of the vaccines? President DeSantis is ordering a commission to investigate.

          It is 2026…

          No one wants to work anymore. It's time to raise the retirement age above the average life expectancy and force immigrants into indentured servitude. :liberalism:
