COVID Is Over! (If You Want)

The Biden administration announced it will end the national and public health emergency declarations for COVID on May 11th, marking a new phase in the government’s response to the pandemic. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, host of Crooked’s “America Dissected” podcast, tells us about the potential health care consequences of the decision, and the benefits that will likely cease later this year.

And in headlines: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank, the I.M.F. released a slightly more optimistic report for the global economy, and House Republican George Santos said he plans to temporarily step down from his committee assignments.
