Late in the afternoon on April 10, 2023, Resident Joe Biden signed H.J. Res. 7 which ended the Pandemic National Emergency. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Well, there WOULD BE choruses of huzzahs ringing out over the countryside, but most of the citizens in the land of the free figured this Shinola out three years ago. The damage is done though. To businesses. To friendships and families. To our trust in “experts”. And, of course, there are those unwilling to give the pandemic up.

When President Trump first signed the Pandemic National Emergency Declaration in March of 2020, we didn’t know very much about this “novel” virus. We were expecting something like the Black Death. During the Middle Ages, the Black Death had a case fatality rate (cfr) of 30 to 60%. Today, that is down to 11%. According to the latest numbers, the overall cfr for Covid-19 is .0108754. I am sure in dense population areas, like New York City, it may have felt like people were keeling over by the dozens. Here is suburbia people were having their groceries delivered by a masked driver and set on the porch. The neighbor would wait for the driver to leave before, wearing a mask, coming out to wipe down the packaging with bleach. My neighborhood is quite multi-cultural, so I tried not to judge.

In our house we washed our hands, isolated if we felt ill and took our Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc daily. We also walked the dog and got fresh air and sunshine. This protocol has amazing efficacy, but it’s not foolproof. We could still get Covid-19. Germs are like Arquillian Battle Cruisers:

There’s always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!

And, the more scared the population got, the thirstier the power-mad government functionaries got. It really tickled their pickles. They loved it sooo much the Pandemic National Emergency has been renewed every three months since Trump signed it in March, 2020. It was last renewed by Biden in February, 2023. The New York Post wrote:

President Biden signed a bill Monday ending the COVID-19 national emergency more than three years after it went into effect.
Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, issued the proclamation in March 2020 to temporarily expand the executive branch’s power to steer funds to battle the virus.

It’s unclear what immediate effect Biden’s signature will have on linked US policies, such as immigration policy and his student debt forgiveness plan.
Biden signed the legislation behind closed doors on the eve of his trip Tuesday to Northern Ireland and the White House acknowledged the milestone without fanfare in a brief late-afternoon email that read: “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.”

Joe signed the resolution “behind closed doors” with no fanfare, or hair to sniff or children to fondle? Even though it was behind closed doors, it was still breaking news, according to Monica Alba of NBC:

Yes, it was a symbolic step in a post pandemic world. I love alliteration. There are many, many sheeple around the world who will not willingly give up the Pandemic National Emergency:

This has been one of the hardest parts of parenting. We must send our son to school. There's no way around that. So we do all we can. He wears a mask, and we have maintained our covid safe lives outside of school. #CovidIsntOver https://t.co/c1weEQrS2z

AND, this school in Ithaca, New York:

The Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca, set amid a pastoral idyll of rolling fields, a pond, and dandelion-stippled meadows, is just a few minutes’ ride from Ithaca College and Cornell University. Serving more than 220 students from preschool through eighth grade, the school features classrooms bathed in natural light, populated with the offspring of professors, doctors, and lawyers. And since the fall of 2020 through today, those children must be masked during class and on the playground, and have been barred from speaking during lunch.
Like every other school in the country, this private school—which charges between $11,000 to $18,000 a year, depending on the student’s age—closed to in-person classes in the spring of 2020. That fall, around the time the local public schools brought kids back, so did EACMSI, but with a list of mitigations. Some were typical and required by the state, such as distancing and indoor masking. But others, at least after a while, were less common or not recommended by health authorities—specifically, outdoor masking and a ban on speaking during lunch.

Ban on speaking during lunch? Get over it. Life is messy and teeming with germs. We, the normies, will be over here keeping score about the sheeple, the border, inflation and all of the other casualties of the Pandemic National Emergency. After washing our hands, that is.
