Ending the Covid Public Health Emergency is actually bad news as there are insufficient provisions to maintain benefits received during the emergency period with persistence of problems from Covid.
The end of a government declared emergency doesn't *have* to be bad. Generally speaking if the problem is ongoing you would want the government to end the emergency phase when they have a plan for an ongoing response in place.
The real problem here is the government seems to just be washing their hands of it. They're pretending it's gone because there's virtually zero testing anymore, and so as the "cases" go down the deaths have to follow(can't die of COVID if no one tested you for COVID). I think one of the biggest problems at this point is that people keep reporting case and death numbers, comparing them to previous years, as if they mean anything at all. They don't.
