BREAKING: President Joe Biden will end the twin national emergencies for addressing COVID-19 on May 11, a move that formally restructures the federal response to treat the virus as an endemic threat that can be managed through agencies’ normal authorities.

“An abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system — for states, for hospitals and doctors’ offices, and, most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans,” the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Statement of Administration Policy.

Once the emergency expires, people with private insurance will have some out-of-pocket costs for vaccines, tests and treatment, while the uninsured will have to pay for those expenses in their entirety. The Biden administration had previously considered ending the emergency last year, but held off amid concerns about a potential “winter surge” in cases and to provide adequate time for providers, insurers and patients to prepare for its end.A senior administration official said the three months until the expiration would mark a transition period where the administration will “begin the process of a smooth operational wind-down of the flexibilities enabled by the COVID-19 emergency declarations.

Yes an acceptable death rate is that of mass shootings and Covid is ONLY four(4) times that. Wake up with a cup of Joe you people!

Really?…because COVID ended for me in May 2020 and I got it and it was nothing more then a cold…lol

My wife and attended a super spreader birthday party last month. Luckily we did not get sick. All attendees who had the bivalent vaccine, us included, did not get sick or just had minor symptoms. Those didn’t either got hospitalized or had a bad Covid symptoms. CovidIsNotOver

But it's not endemic yet. It's still a pandemic and immunocompromised are being told they have to take lots of precautions. This normalcy bias is nuts

got

Lol will anyone ask if he will cancel all student loans (as was promised countless times during campaign) while he has executive power to do so during Covid emergency. Or nah, we just blaming that on republicans too? bTW he ain’t doing anything about Covid now either.

He should declare victory from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

lol they’re gonna start a war huh

I hate this world

This is just capitalism. A lot of news agencies spin a ton of words instead of just saying capitalists wants more of your money.

That’s just plain irresponsible.

Can we travel to the US again? searchingfortickets

Bidenites 🤝 Trumpists Denying the pandemic

If only USA is having these ridiculous rules like not slowing foreign National unvaxed to enter, speaks for it self, it is endemic. The rest of the world think so, so IT IS ENDEMIC !

AshishKJha46 Bad call. Saved for the record. The government likes to sweep things under the carpet to paint a false image of the actual situation.

AshishKJha46 'Mission Accomplished'? I did not expect President Biden to behave like former President GW Bush. But I did not expect the CDC and WHO to be incompetent either.

Realistically we are going to need to continue to get multiple boosters per year to stay safe, so how much are we gonna have to pay for that

Would that end the requirements to be vaccinated to travel to the US

The national nightmare continues

'Government denies knowledge' POTUS CDCemergency WhiteHouse

End it now

AshishKJha46 Whose brilliant (sarcasm) idea was this AshishKJha46 POTUS CDCDirector ? 🤦🏽‍♀️ 11thHour

Ya this is a smoke screen. And when will he end the presidential proclamation order which restricts non us unvaccinated travelers to enter the country? This is ridiculous and non scientific.

Tell your senators & representatives to reinstitute the religious exemption for vaccinations in Connecticut. Parents should not be coerced into giving their children something in which they don't believe. CTSenateDems CTHouseDems cthouserules CTSenateGOP Hartford Danbury

And then he will sign a new bill giving more money to the Police.

Corrupt corporate owned Pharma government letting Pharma charge an exorbitant price for their therapeutic

That's a good thing. Now, to get people to understand it hasn't gone anywhere, it's not a pandemic anymore. A friends husband just died of complications from Covid, and 2 kids just tested positive for covid in school. We know what to do so it doesn't get out of control again.

May 11 it is then. 🤦🏻‍♀️

why not right now?

Umm Why wait

zchagla Good, should have been done 6 months ago.

What a joke! Covid-19! As in 2019! Viruses mutate quickly. Scientifically speaking the “pandemic” was over in 2020! This non-sense has been perpetuated for far too long!

520 people dying a day due to COVID. how is that not an emergency anymore? This is.. How can he ask for our votes after all this?

Replacing it with a global vaccine passports system the same month:

1 million + dead americans and the govt says 'get back to work dirty proles!'

Will the “emergencies” end before or after lunch on May 11? There is no bollox emergency any longer. There is nothing but politics and upset pigs at the trough.

💩

Can you tell Trump If you take allergy medication When your nose is runny or your eyes are watery You know like in spring and fall Then you don't get a cold or the flu Can we get another direct deposit before may 11 I'm still traumatized by COVID-19 I had to get a job

An American hero. He created chaos, now he takes it away. Back in the day, wash your hands, cover your month when you cough or sneeze, stay home when you don’t feel well. Takes the government to tell you that. Mom and dad did just fine.

4,000 dying a week and many more injured. Managed...

It's currently JANUARY

brooklynmarie More importantly:

Only 2 years too late. 🤡🤡🤡

Longest lasting 'emergency' in recorded history.

What does Covid think about that?

BarbarianCap ending the fake emergency they abused for years ... who gives a fck

Three and a half months seems kind of random, not so scientific

Only for that date to come closer and they extend it lol

Damn shame he didn't win the ' GET FORCED VACCINATION' Eventhough many had did to stay employed! What a DISGRACE TO HUMANITY!🤡 POTUS JoeBiden VP KamalaHarris DrBiden FLOTUS PressSec VaccineSideEffects

What Wait? Where citizens?

Typical movement at the speed of government. We've known this for 2 years.

Obviously, I hope a new variant doesn't arise that evades current vaccines. But it could happen at any time, and 'endemic' will suddenly be a pandemic again. We need to beef up our ability to rapidly detect and respond to new pandemics. Unfortunately, this isn't happening.

🙌

This can't be good.

Biden administration will end COVID-19 emergencies on May 11BREAKING: The White House has informed Congress that the Biden administration will end both the COVID-19 national emergency and public health emergency on May 11. I guess they finally realized that the public has moved on!! More leading from behind. Could this administration suck any more? Methinks not. Why? Are people no longer dying from COVID or we’ve reached the acceptable amount of death? Or have we figured out that “virus gonna virus” and all shutdowns were stupid? See, you should be asking these questions as “reporters”, not being state media
