The U.S. is no longer in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the coronavirus's continuing global threat, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden. But Fauci also warns that people should still be mindful of the disease.
"We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase," Fauci said in an interview with PBS NewsHour. "Namely, we don't have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now."
"So if you're saying, 'Are we out of the pandemic phase in this country?' — we are," he said.
I would think as bad as Biden needs a win on something that they would have been busting open bottles of champagne in the West Wing and calling a press conference
