COVID is now just another background illness, yet Team Biden keeps acting — and spending — as if it’s still early 2021.

The latest: $600 million on free at-home COVID tests.

Huh? The bug is far less dangerous now: If you’re sick, whether it’s COVID or the regular flu, just stay home. (In rare cases where it gets really bad or if you’re immune-challenged, of course, respond appropriately.)

There’s no point to mass testing, let alone free home delivery: Tests are now ample and cheap.

Congress rightly refused new funding for this waste, prompting an all-too-telling tweet from President Joe Biden’s ex-chief of staff, Ron Klain, grousing that the prez “had to take from other vital health needs.”

That is, Joe’s not only wasting this cash (how many of the tests will even get used before they expire?), he’s taking it from more important purposes.

This follows even crazier Biden spending on new vaccines and boosters — billions on jabs of dubious efficacy and safety, most of which will expire unused, just as happened a year ago.

Unprecedented government action in providing tests and developing jabs was appropriate in 2020, at the height of the emergency — but the emergency is long since over.

We know most Democrats think every government program should get bigger and last longer, but there’s no need to close the barn door now that this horse has fully flown — yet Biden keeps buying new barns.

Close the curtain on COVID theater.
