This makes total sense, and the results match what epidemiologists and other experts in the field have been saying for a long time now.

I bought a couple of cloth masks that have little pockets in which filters can be inserted. One of my wife's friends is an infectious disease doctor, and he actually recommends them for those who find N95s to be too uncomfortable. I like that these give me a nice combination of comfort and Covid protection.

The science has changed folks!!  One way masking now good enough.  I applaud Dr. Wen for taking this position but the science hasn’t changed, internal polling has changed so the public messaging/policy making is now changing.

She is sounding very libertarian in this interview which I can appreciate.

Really is incredible how just a couple weeks ago when Youngkin removed the school mask mandate in VA there were lawsuits and accusations that he was a child killer being thrown at him and now a couple weeks later we’re all aligned that masks no bueno in school.

Too busy mourning the millions dead.   So many needlessly because they were smarter than science, tougher than the virus, and listened to quacks and grifters.

And once this over, hopefully many things will  be addressed, improved, and dealt with.  Learning nothing from all of this would be an even greater tragedy.

Lots of people still dying from Covid. February 2022 has been one of the most deadly months in the 2+ years of the pandemic. This in spite of vaccines, boosters, social distancing, masking, school closings, etc., - and as a bonus we got more suicides, mental illnesses, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, obesity, failed businesses, regular crime, violent crime and (maybe worst of all) the most disadvantaged of our children being left hopelessly behind academically and socially.

Easing restrictions is mostly about enough people saying they’ve had enough. We’ve reached that tipping point. Science has very little (if anything) to do with it. It will be used as cover, but only the most naive or jaded will believe it.

Cases are going down from the peak - which we hit about a month ago. They’re still higher than they were for most of the pandemic. We’ve had periods much lower than this and restrictions weren’t lifted. When the independents and even some Dems finally say “no mas” our leaders finally listen.

"In spite of" isn't really the right term as it implies those things don't work. They work just fine, miraculously in fact in the case of vaccines and boosters.

It's been one of the deadliest months not in spite of all those things, but because people refuse to take advantage of all those things because they've listened to disinformation.

Midterm elections are coming soon. Covid will be over March 1 cured by FD, aina?

"If it ends up that Biden wins in November...I guarantee you, the week after the election suddenly all those Democratic governors, all those Democratic mayors, will say, 'Everything is magically better. Go back to work, go back to school.' Suddenly, the problems are solved."
- Ted Cruz, July 2020

You guys are so great at predicting these things.

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.

It's the timing and hypocrisy, not the actual removal of the mandates.

But you knew that already.

You're right, because the average American actually watches or cares about the SOTU.

FWIW, the federal public transport mask mandate still exists.  But yes, go on about hypocrisy and timing.

The average American doesn't give a rip about 537 geriatrics engaging in covid theater.

Maybe the dopes you hang with don’t care about the SOTU, but I guess my crew is above average. I haven’t missed one in more the 50 years.

Last nights ranked pretty low on the list.

Last night sounded more like a convention nomination speech than an actual SOTU. 

But when you have no accomplishments of note, you gotta talk about something

Regardless of who the President is, I have never missed a SOTU address. There have been well over a dozen times I have been in Asia, and I still never missed the SOTU. To me, it is one of my favorite nights of the year. That said, last night was not one for the records books and I nodded off several times.

They're literally all like this.  Imagine listening to any of these things and expecting anything of substance. 

You old guys have bad memories.

Maybe it was the squinting at the teleprompter, butchering words (do trump next), chuck and Nancy standing at the wrong time, etc.

And if I'm old, so are you kin.

I guess when you're used to listening to the President of the United States repeatedly praising Putin, dumping on our allies, and endlessly trying to glorify and enrich himself, all while reading the teleprompter at a 3rd-grade level, a "normal" SOTU address by a regular-guy president who actually cares about Americans can seem pretty boring.

I mean, I am old, but you're older.  If only a few years (what is it, five?).

I don't have the old man mentality, though.

Ahh yes the old “if you criticize this admin, I’ll bring up Trump cause you must love him” despite neither of the other two ever vocally supporting him even though they sit on the opposite side of the aisle to you.

Mike, It’s ok to say Biden is disappointing or less than ideal in some areas without it being an implicit endorsement of your favorite boogeyman. Hard as that is to process.

IBTL

Ahh yes the old pretend to take no sides without criticizing the folks who changed the subject to the SOTU.

Wags, I have said many times that Biden has had plenty of eff-ups. Thank goodness one of them isn't hero worship of a murderous dictator who would love nothing more than to wipe America off the face of the earth.

How 'bout that Covid and those masks though, eh? IBTL x2.
