“COVID-19 is still circulating in Philadelphia, so the pandemic is not over in that sense,” said Matt Rankin, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Deaths and hospitalizations are lower and immunization is up,” said Nancy Kearney, spokesperson for the department of health. The impact of long COVID, which causes chronic illness in some people infected with the virus, is unclear. The rates of those doing so have been stagnant for months. (Recorded case numbers now likely represent only a fraction of the true count, experts caution, due to the increased availability of at-home testing.)

Everything from lingering fatigue for weeks after an infection to months of debilitating illness can be cataloged as long COVID. [Am I going to get COVID again?

If you say the pandemic is over with, why would people need to get these boosters? The White House is seeking more than $22 billion, though Democrats’ faith they could secure that amount in an upcoming budget bill was waning even before the airing of “60 Minutes.” In the hours since, health officials have privately and sarcastically applauded themselves for a job well done: After 20 months of round-the-clock work, they joked, all it took to end a once-in-a-century crisis was for Biden to declare it finished. “The pandemic is over,” Biden said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday night. “It’s just that Covid is still a real challenge. The declaration surprised the president’s own senior health officials, many of whom only learned about Biden’s remarks from tweets and news headlines.
