It’s all about mindset. Perhaps you missed the fact that the Biden administration just extended the COVID-19 Emergency for another 90 days. One might suspect this is do the the increasing case counts associated with the new and more viral BA.2 variant that is sweeping the nation, and the list of high profile infections coming out of Washington DC — however, there are other reasons.

But, before we consider other underlying motivations, let’s look at a few numbers:

• As of today, April 15th, 2022, after 25 months of pandemic, the CDC reports there have been 984,744 deaths associated with COVID-19.
• The current population of the United States is 332,615,956 people.
• Simple math allows us to calculate 984,744 total deaths / 332,615,956 total population, to reveal a death rate of .00296, or rounding the death rate up, approximately 0.3%.
• That means that more than 99.7% of the population has survived the covid crisis.

Given these facts, driven by data from the CDC, one might ask: Where’s the emergency?

Of course, many of us have been asking that very same question since the start of this sham-demic. Some of the world’s top doctors concluded early on that this was never a public health crisis, but instead a “public messaging” crisis. Doctors were pointing out that public health messaging was triggering massive panic, and that was causing catastrophic consequences.

Even as the CDC continues to revise the numbers and reduce the number of deaths, the media continues to feed the fear over the next deadly variant. While the World Health Organization tells us the pandemic is far from over, U.S. officials have moved in lockstep, extending the National Emergency even further into the future.

Now we must ask why: Why are they extending the emergency, given the lack of emergency?
