I read an article on one of the news sites yesterday about one of the reasons they can't end it. The emergency lowered, or removed, restrictions on food stamps and medicaid (and probably other programs) They estimated there's something like 20 or 25% extra in those programs right now that wouldn't qualify.

It also eliminated the rule that people had to work.

Ending the emergency would kick a lot of people off the programs during high inflation/recession.

So thinking politically. Extend it to October when a "wave" hits and then it's justified to extend it to Jan when a red wave takes over. Then end it and toss the hand grenade to the Republicans.

No. It's not justified.

Also.

I notice Canadian officials use the term 'at least' too.

I'm convinced the two countries are coordinating their messaging to ram through a medical tyranny.
