President Biden’s assertion that the pandemic is over is rankling both Republicans and some public health leaders who say it is premature to announce victory over Covid-19 and that the declaration could undermine the administration’s efforts to secure more funding from Congress.
Mr. Biden said during an interview that aired Sunday on “60 Minutes” that “the pandemic is over. We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. It’s—but the pandemic is over.”
