Because the local junior tyrants prefer to extend the troubles as long as possible; they enjoy the power trip.
In general, government has little interest in solving problems. Doing so might reduce the need for their ever expanding empires. Fix problems is bad for business.
Until the vaccine is widely used, how about making the Ivermectin / Vitamin / Mineral / Antibiotic / Antacid / Antioxidant cocktail available to everybody?
“ But authorities like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates ...”
Gates is an authority? On what?
“Being a septuagenarian I will now retire to my safe room.”
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of that religion.
Once a politician has tasted the ability to revoke the civil rights of citizens, they will always return to it, like a dog returning to its vomit
You should see what our current situation looks like to a teenager.
I’m a high school teacher in bush Alaska, and our school has remained open, although it’s not a normal year. Everyone has to wear masks; kids are sitting six feet apart; there are clear plastic barriers between students at lunch. Sports and activities have stopped. Students are assigned groups that have to walk together to avoid contact with others.
I wonder about the younger kids, walking around wearing masks, being told that they could kill grandma by breathing on them. That’ll have an impact.
Most of the teenagers are sullen and disgusted. Everyone knows that they are the least likely to get sick. I have one student, a sophomore from a remote village, who tested positive for Covid-19, and he said he wouldn’t have even known if it hadn’t been for the test. When I mentioned that I would have a mask burning party when this whole thing was over, the students enthusiastically approved and wanted to join in.
On a bigger scale, people like Kamala Harris believe that they’re progressives, changing the world, helping the little people. Kamala is actually Marie Antoinette. I would not be surprised if masks were involved, maybe symbolically, maybe as a prop, with the reaction to the way the progressives are wrecking the world of our youth.
Mass. Civil. Disobedience.
Want to add lockdowns? Fire all Democrats and higher Republicans instead
End lock downs today. If you don’t feel safe wear a mask or stay home and leave the rest of us alone.
“Target vaccines to the most vulnerable”
That is a huge part of the Operation Warp Speed (OWS) plan. They plan to get the great bulk of Nursing home patients (who have accounted for over 40% of US fatalities) their first shot by Christmas. Next week.
OWS has a few other priorities for vaccination (like essential workers), but the vulnerable are overwhelmingly first in priority.
With a million to two million shots available per day, targeted at the vulnerable, the hospital COVID wards should empty out in Feb-Mar.
The biggest risk remaining is a potential radical change, by a potential Biden Administration to delay, halt or re-direct the program.
From what I understand, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, are not approved for those under eighteen and sixteen, respectively. Therefore, the lockdowns/face coverings/social distancing will have to be never ending.
Wait and see.
Are you kidding? Everybody knows that COVID is the most deadly disease since the Spanish Flu! People who have had it can get it again, people who get vaccinated can get it anyway, it mutates to multiple more deadly and more virulent strains, it causes cytokine storms, it kills people with multiple and seemingly unlimited causes. People who go into the hospital with COVID are 95% of the fatalities, people who have other health problem s are 91% of the fatalites, people over 80 are 50% of the fatalities. It is serious stuff!
On the plus side, it has cured the flu and a lot of other seasonal diseases like the common cold and RSV.
Bidens already said another 100 days for masks and lock down. A couple of govenor s have stated indefinitly. All demon rats
