President Joe Biden said “the pandemic is over” during an interview which aired Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”
“The pandemic is over,” Biden said. “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it… but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing.”
The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center lists more than 2 million COVID cases in the country in the last 28 days, with hundreds dying from the disease every day.
Biden was less definitive when asked whether he planned to seek reelection. He did qualify his remarks by saying it had always been his “intention” to seek another term and that “election laws” would come into play if he were to announce his candidacy at this juncture.
The President also said he was startled to see the photograph of top-secret documents on the floor of the residence at former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, calling Trump “totally irresponsible.”
