Is the pandemic over?

The Republican House was thinking about declaring the Covid pandemic over.  Maybe they already did.  I know they plan on investigating Dr. Fauci.  

Unfortunately there is one group, and I’m in it, that is still dying.  In January 2100 Americans between the ages of 65 to 74 died from Covid.  More than 3,500 of the 75 to 84 year-olds died  (My cohort.)  Nearly 5000 died from Covid in the age group over 85.   Those three groups accounted for about 90% of the nation’s Covid deaths in January.

The Republicans are holding hearings on near misses at airports in the last few months.  In those near misses, nobody died.
