Oh hear the angels singing!
Taste the sweet nectar of freedom!
The federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) for COVID-19, declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, officially ended Monday, April 10 after a bipartisan congressional resolution was signed by President Joe Biden. The public health emergency — it underpins tough immigration restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border — expired on May 11. Yes, that's right. No more masks, no more social distancing, no more worrying about catching a deadly virus. You can go back to living your lives as if nothing ever happened. It's a miracle!
But before you rush out into the streets and start licking doorknobs like it's Mardi Gras, let's take a moment to reflect on what we've learned during this difficult time. We've learned the importance of community and looking out for one another. We’ve learned that in a crisis, people will behave rationally and calmly seek out facts to ensure the well being of everyone, even the most vulnerable. And we've learned that sometimes, the best thing you can do for your fellow man is to stay the hell away from him. Here's to a future filled with hugs, handshakes, and sharing food from the same plate. Here's to a world where we can once again cough and sneeze with reckless abandon. Here's to the good old days!
