Fauci Says US Is ‘Out of the Pandemic Phase’ of COVID-19 By Jack Phillips April 27, 2022
After more than two years, the United States may have exited the so-called pandemic phase of COVID-19, according to top White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fauci, who has been the federal government’s public face for its COVID-19 response and rules, told PBS Newshour on April 26 that “we are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase,” according to a transcript. When asked whether there will be an end to the pandemic, he responded that it’s an “unanswerable question.”
In recent days, the United States has seen a “low level” of COVID-19 cases, Fauci said.
“So if you’re saying: Are we out of the pandemic phase in this country? We are.”
People have been wearing masks for quite a while where I live (blue state), but lately I've noticed it's mostly the elderly. I don't judge because I know many have chronic or acute diseases and masking is probably a good idea for them. I still see the occasional idiot walking outside, alone, wearing a face diaper, but not nearly as many.
