KAREN, WE ARE ENDING THIS WEEK
ON A MUCH NICER NOTE THAN WHAT

TO THE WEEKEND FORECAST IN THAT
CHANGE IS A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
AND SUNDAY, SO WE’LL TIME IT OUT
FOR YOU HOUR BY HOUR AND TALK
ABOUT THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE
WEATHER COMING UP IN THE
FORECAST. ALRIGHT THANK YOU, KIM
WELL, THE JOB MARKET CONTINUES
TO HEAD IN A SURPRISING
DIRECTION IN SPITE OF INFLATION,
RISING INTEREST RATES IN THE
BANKING CRISIS, THE LABOR
DEPARTMENT SAYS AMERICA’S
EMPLOYERS ADDED 253,000 JOBS IN
APRIL THAT PUSHED UNEMPLOYMENT
DOWN TO 3.4% THAT MATCHES A 54
YEAR LOW. IN ADDITION, HOURLY
WAGES ROSE LAST MONTH AT THE
FASTEST PACE SINCE LAST JULY. I
COULD WORRY THE FEDERAL RESERVE
IS MORE JOBS AND HIGHER WAGES
COULD BOOST INFLATION, WHICH IS
DESPERATELY TRYING TO LOWER WELL
, IT HAS BEEN A LONG, STRESSFUL,
CONTROVERSIAL FIGHT TO MAKE IT
THROUGH COVID 19. WELL, NOW
WE’VE REACHED AN ENCOURAGING
MILESTONE TODAY. THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS THE
VIRUS NO LONGER QUALIFIES AS A
GLOBAL EMERGENCY. KIMBERLY GILL
JOINS US NOW TO TALK ABOUT
EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS. AND
ALSO TALK ABOUT A LOOMING
DEADLINE. THAT’S RIGHT. HI
KAREN. GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU.
IT’S BEEN A LONG THREE YEARS
SINCE THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION FIRST DECLARED THE
EMERGENCY BACK IN JANUARY OF
2020. REMEMBER THE LOCKDOWNS,
THE RACE FOR A VACCINE AND SO
MANY FAMILIES TOUCHED BY ILLNESS
AND DEATH, THE DIRECTOR OF THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS
THE VIRUS DOWNWARD TREND FOR
MORE THAN A YEAR HAS ALLOWED
MOST COUNTRIES TO RETURN TO A
NORMAL LIFE. TODAY’S
ANNOUNCEMENT MARXIST SYMBOLIC
END TO THE PANDEMIC THAT KILLED
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.
BUT THE THREAT HAS NOT
COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED
EVERYWHERE. THE DOUBLE. UH THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS
THERE HAVE BEEN RECENT COVID
SPIKES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND THE
MIDDLE EAST, PLUS THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DIE FROM THE
VIRUS EVERY WEEK. THE DIRECTOR
GENERAL HOPES THE WORLD CAN
LEARN LESSONS FROM WHAT WENT
WRONG DURING THE PANDEMIC.
GLOBALLY. A LACK OF COORDINATION
, A LACK OF EQUITY AND THE LACK
OF SOLIDARITY MEANT THAT THOSE
TOOLS WERE NOT USED AS
EFFECTIVELY. THEY COULD HAVE
BEEN. LIVES WERE LOST. THAT
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WE MUST
PROMISE OURSELVES. AND OUR
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THAT
WE WILL NEVER MAKE THOSE
MISTAKES AGAIN. WE ALSO WANT TO
REMIND YOU THE U. S GOVERNMENT
IS GOING TO STOP PAYING FOR FREE
COVID TESTS NEXT WEEK. SO YOU
HAVE SIX DAYS TO STOCK UP IF YOU
LIKE TO HAVE SOME IN YOUR HOME
IN CASE YOU EVER THINK YOU HAVE
COVID. THE DEADLINE IS MAY 11TH
ALSO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES
ON MANY TEST KIDS. YOU ALREADY
HAVE. BECAUSE MANY HAVE BEEN
EXTENDED. YOU CAN LOOK ON THE
FDA IS WEBSITE TO SEE WHICH
TESTS ARE GOOD AND MAY 11TH IS
WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SET TO
END THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
STILL, THOUGH, BILLIONS OF
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD REMAIN
UNVACCINATED, AND THAT’S
SOMETHING SOMETHING THAT
CERTAINLY YOU CAN CONSIDER AS
YOU MAKE PLANS TO PROTECT
YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY COMING
UP THIS SUMMER AND THE REST OF
THE YEAR, SO KAREN WILL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU, KIM.
APPRECIATE IT. WELL WE ARE ALSO
ABOUT TO SEE A CHANGING OF THE
GUARD OVER AT THE CENTERS FOR
DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION.
