🤔 even the data that the CDC is publishing would bring that statement into doubt.
Then Dr Fauci was on the BBC here on Sunday politely correcting most of the White House statements about Covid-19.
Finally - Covid-19 is not going away. Nature has led to the mutation of a virus into SAR-COV-2 and that is a highly infectious virus that is in the population and is being transmitted between humans with a natural R value of probably somewhere around 2.8 - 3.0. So far humans have only managed to totally eradicate one virus on the planet; smallpox and only then after decades of intensive vaccination programmes globally. We're doing well with polio now, it is limited to only a few countries again through decades of intensive vaccination programmes. So just simply nature and the science tells you that this virus is simply going to be here for the foreseeable future - years, decades, probably longer. So I think that statement is wrong and foolhardy giving people false hope - esp as USA is about to hit the winter when we know that death rates from all sorts of things including especially respiratory infections will rise. I'd wager they will soar in the next 4 - 6 months most likely.
Everything Trump says is a lie. If you believe him, you are an uneducated idiot, so when he says its over, it means it is getting worse, and will continue to get worse. If he tells you its fake, or tells you to take off your mask, what are you going to do? Well, obviously its real, and put your mask on.

The only way this will be over is when there is a safe and workable vaccine, people can take their mask off and I’m able to go back to watching movies at a local theater with no fear of catching COVID.
[@PTCdresser57 That’s pretty good way of expressing the last ten months. It’s history repeating itself over and over again except we’re living it on a daily basis. Didn’t ever think I would see so so many people believe in lies after lies by just one person. The bigger lies more people seem to be getting sucked in the of alternative facts or proven un-factual facts. But all this happening because the Big Guy, upstairs is laughing his head. How many times and more chances to get their act together. Come now people it’s only about 36% of people stopping the other 17% of people who would really to change their views and joining on side of what’s right. The sad part in all this is about trying to save face in front of co-works, close friends, family members and other loosely affiliate groups, because to walk away or give up now after 5 years of being on the same team doing the masters bidding no longer with make weak and a total looser. Interestingly enough the masters universe, he doesn’t have any plans or alternative offers because he no place for losers. So too those who are riding the rails, going along just to along, start now thinking about your self respect. I know it’s so so very hard of a thing to do by walking away or quitting team and leave your teammates and possibly loosing place. The fifty percent are waiting and counting on you. That diesel, it’s humming All Aboard!!
@PTCdresser57 your total deaths are 1000, please explain....the tests are not accurate and over 90% testing positive have mild symptoms and the ones dying have underlying health problems...death go up every October ....
@DunningKruger "they" work so much better without to much information 😎

They don't. Go inside a hospital and check those magically increasing hospitalizations YOURSELF instead of trusting Fauci and Gates who have invested in vaccines as well as CDC vaccine company. Centers of Disease Creation. All these numbers and hospiralizations are only on the news and their paid websites.
@SW-User Did that. This is what a COVID hospital looks like (and before you complain - out of the reach of the American CDC, Fauci, Bill Gates, "Deep State" or whatever other bullcrap you believe in) [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J60fQr0GWo]
I don’t think it’s over but we have to learn to live with this and can’t be closed down. We know what we have to do now and people have to be respectful of others space and wear a mask for now.
people get sick and go to an emergency care center or the hospital. if they are diagnosed with covid-19 private insurance and gov't plans must pick up 100% of the charge with no co-insurance or deductible. millions of dollars a year go uncollected because people never pay their share of the cost. if you were a doctor or hospital what would you do?
Another big lie by Trump. We all know the Covid is progressing, and Trump knows it too, but his supporters will believe anything he tells them. Pathetic.
Because it’s a virus.Viruses do that.And they burn themselves out eventually...if you let them.This one won’t because we are trying to stop people getting it.....dare I suggest the USA has it right? Cue shooting down in flames.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales I certainly won't be shooting you down. You articulate your position well and make some really valid points. There are different strategies at different stages of a pandemic too, hey. In early stages you try to catch it like SARS. Our state government put us through a lockdown for the second wave - which worked - but there's a cost, yes. We're coming out now and they're trying to manage it with contact tracing, etc. It's different when it becomes widespread in a population. I only know I don't want the damn thing. I had pneumonia as a little kid of about 3 - I actually remember feeling hot, getting out of bed and going out to the paddle pool before my mum saw me through the window. So my lungs are vulnerable.
According to Politifact, It was listed in a press release "Ending Covid Pandemic" which could be taken as a goal and not meant as an accomplishment. Also, Politifact said it wasn't in the original press release and no one knows when it was added.
I listened very carefully and I said ( the White House said) I was wrong . The White House didn’t say a word. trump said it some of his people said it ( I think just to agree with their boss) but the white can’t speak it’s only a building .
Because Trump supporters are brainwashed to the point that they will believe him over their own eyes. Even Trumpsters who are losing loved ones from this virus aren’t grasping the severity. Some have died themselves praising him with their last breaths. It’s almost like religious fanaticism.
@bijouxbroussard Yeah, the fact that covid is the most out of control and likely the most deadly in deeply red states and people are just doubling down on their love of TRump is a... pretty horrifying insight into where humans can go when pushed far enough.
The Republicans have a slogan "Make America Great Again", but they (purposely) mixed up one word, it should say "Make America White Again". Covid is affecting certain people more than others, and that is what they want, therefore, the Pandemic is over, now it is Ethnic Cleansing.
@strongbow do you have any clue at all why this happened and how? Obviously not. It’s very real and it still is and it can come back and if we don’t take big action we’re gonna go instinct before the water rise kills us
