As I've stated before here, the objective Covid situation is very much under control; the only question is when our political leaders would/will decide to acknowledge as much and relinquish the controls they'd imposed. The Covid situation itself indeed gets more under control every day now. According to the CDC, we're now averaging 75,000 new corona cases nationwide per day, which, as you can see in their chart, is the lowest we've seen since November 9th, i.e. well before the omicron surge and before the winter and also a drop of more than 90% from the peak average of 807,000 new cases per day set back on January 15th. At this point, substantially more Americans are recovering from Covid daily than are being infected. Most of the new, softened masking rules that U.S. states have announced lately go into effect on March 1st, by which point we'll be in an even better situation yet, on top of which March will mark the onset of spring and, with it, warmer weather that will see people spending more time outdoors, thus serving to mitigate the spread further. One's insistence that Covid restrictions be continued at this point isn't about following the science so much as it's about a phobic obsession with the idea of exorcising every single virus case there is, which just isn't realistic. |
You did not get my point. From the DCC its clearly stated in that link that they are making their decisions not because of the CDC or anything else but instead they are making their decisions because it play better politically. If you wanted to use the CDC as the source for mask restrictions to be lifted then that would have been a better justification for your point then to use the DCC. I have no problem with the lifting of any restrictions as long as we have did the work to make sure the proper time. If using political talking points as the reason well that does not sit as well because that's how we got here in the first place.
