Biden declares COVID-19 ‘independent,’ but a pandemic remains a concern.

WASHINGTON – On US Independence Day, President Joe Biden gave an enthusiastic assessment of a country that, he claimed, is surging back to life after the epidemic, even if COVID-19 has yet to be entirely “vanquished.”

Biden made a parallel between the proclamation of independence from the British Empire in 1776 and today’s fast recovery from the coronavirus, speaking before a joyful gathering of 1,000 guests on the White House South Lawn.

“We declared our independence from a distant ruler two hundred and forty-five years ago. Today, we’re closer than ever to proclaiming victory over a deadly illness “He informed the assembled military personnel and vital employees.

He claimed, “We’ve won the upper hand against this pathogen.” However, he said, “COVID-19 has not been defeated, don’t get me wrong. We are well aware that strong variations, such as the Delta variant, have evolved.”

Biden paid homage to those who have died in the United States, where the shocking number of dead has already surpassed 600,000.
