Joe Biden confirmed that the “pandemic is over” while appearing on “60 Minutes.”
Biden’s comments come one week after Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, said that the end of the pandemic was “in sight.”
“Last week, the number of weekly reported deaths from Covid-19 was the lowest since March 2020,” Ghebreyesus said. “We have never been in a better position to end the pandemic. We’re not there yet, but the end is in sight.”
Over the last two weeks, there were around 65,000 new COVID-19 cases reported each day, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Approxiemently 400 people are dying every day from the virus.
As for 2024, Biden also remarked that he is not firm on running for reelection: “Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
