Yesterday, Prez Biden said, “The pandemic is over… We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it's changing…”Hmmm, shades of Donald Trump?
Luckily, We the People have straight talking Dr Anthony Fauci to a reality check Biden’s wishful thinking:

Mary reports “feeling better, diminished nausea though continued fatigue and hints of tinnitus.” (According to Dr Internet, “the chemotherapy drug cisplatin may cause ringing or other sounds in the ears, [aka tinnitus]. It may improve gradually after treatment ends but sometimes it can be permanent.)
A growing concern is that fatigue and weakness prevent Mary’s twice daily walks along the beach – 2 to 3 miles per day on good days. Lack of exercise exacerbates Mary’s old spine and hip injuries, the x-rays of which led to uncovering the epithelioid pleural mesothelioma squatting comfortably in her left lung.

Healthy planet, anyone?
Add your name to shut down single use plastics, at least in the USEarlier this year, Oceana joined 180 other organizations in calling on the Biden administration's General Services Administration (GSA) — the agency responsible for the federal government's purchasing policies — to prohibit federal agencies from buying single-use plastics. And now, the Biden administration is moving forward to examine ways to reduce single-use plastics.
We have an opportunity to make a real difference on the amount of plastic the United States purchases and uses, and we need your voice!
Right now, the federal government is accepting public comment on the use of single-use plastic products in the U.S. government.
Stand with Oceana and countless others to tell the federal government it's time to stop purchasing and using single-use plastic.
