The New York Times editorial board warned Friday against 'pretending the pandemic is over' as many Americans resume 'pre-pandemic behaviors.'
"In the face of this uncertainty, it would be reckless for the government to reduce its efforts to minimize new cases and help those who fall ill," the editorial board wrote in a piece titled,"Pretending the Pandemic Is Over Will Not Make It So." The authors added that Congress"failed" to pass $15.6 billion in funding for treatments and tests.
A bill passed earlier this month, which funded the government, originally included the $15.6 billion of COVID-19 aid. However, the editorial board wrote,"the funding was stripped because House Democrats were unable to resolve an internal squabble."The authors said that"the bill would have repurposed unused money from earlier rounds of Covid aid," and added that some Democrats were set on new funding for COVID treatments.
