Did Joe Biden just end the pandemic?

No, he didn't make good on his campaign promise to "shut down the virus"

President Joe Biden admitted on Monday that "there is no federal solution" to the Covid-19 pandemic. The statement paves the way for his mandates to be scrapped, but don't expect liberals to go along willingly. Speaking during a teleconference with governors, Biden followed this statement up by declaring that the pandemic "gets solved at the state level," before shuffling onto a helicopter and departing for his home state of Delaware. Delegating responsibility to the states was essentially the approach of Donald Trump, and a return to this policy represents a complete reversal of Biden's campaign-trail promise to use the might of the federal government to "shut down the virus."

Biden's words on Monday were just words, and his administration's onerous vaccine and mask mandates remain in place. Yet these words may have spelled the end for the mandates. The Supreme Court in January will hear challenges to two of these vaccine mandates – one affecting healthcare workers and another potentially affecting some 80 million private-sector workers ... Biden's masking requirement in federal buildings, along with similar rules for planes, trains and buses, could all be scrapped, as could vaccine requirements for federal workers and contractors. Yet it's foolish to believe that restrictions would be lifted nationwide overnight. Already, Covid policies vary drastically between blue and red states. The pandemic has essentially been over in Florida for a year or more, with no masking or vaccine requirements in place on a state level and with a governor, Ron DeSantis, fighting tooth and nail against federal mandates.

New York, by contrast, is still gripped by pandemic fever, with even children having to show vaccine passes to eat indoors. Amid an historic crime wave, NYPD officers are being called to restaurants to haul out kids who haven't had their shots... Biden's statement on Monday reveals a whole swath of Democrat voters who are in no way ready to move past the pandemic. "What a pathetic excuse for a leader," one liberal commenter wrote on Twitter...
