Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

"The Final Countdown" is a song released by the group Europe on February 14, 1986. The song performed by the Swedish rock band reached number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is often played at sporting events to rally the crowds.

On January 30, 2023, President Biden announced the administration’s intent to end both the national emergency and the public health emergency for COVID-19. These emergency declarations have to be renewed every 90 days and are set to expire on May 11, 2023. Experts have some significant concerns about the changes the final countdown will bring to medical services.
