"On Monday, April 10, 2023, the President signed into law: H.J.Res. 7, which terminates the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic," the White House released in a memo.
The "Emergency" may be officially over, but don't think that this scourge won't remain with us in some form for generations to come. Just as we don't refer to the infamous Spanish Flu on a recurring basis, we do have annual re-emergences (emergencies?) of the plain old flu. So, too, with this one we assume, but hopefully without the fatality rate.
It is fair to say most of us know someone, either family, friends, or friends of family, who died from Covid-19. And it would be hard to find anyone who doesn't know someone who caught Covid but survived. We can probably find a few people around who haven't gotten it yet, and that is a good thing. Not sure what will happen to us old people who won't get the hyper-focus when we get sick, now that the novelty (pun intended) has worn off. Likely we'll go the way of all things. Just pray that the Corona-fascists in government don't keep pushing the "emergency" to ruin all of our lives in the name of protecting us. We have had enough of that.
