Sisolak expected to suspend mask mandate at Thursday’s COVID-19 update (Sisolak is up for re-election in Nov)

Gov. Steve Sisolak is widely expected to announce the suspension of Nevada’s mask mandate at a virtual news conference he’s scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, following the lead of governors in several other states as COVID-19 case numbers continue to fall.

Governors in Delaware and Oregon have announced they will relax their state’s mask mandate by the end of March, according to the New York Times, following news that New Jersey was suspending the mandate in its public schools. California will lift its indoor mask mandate next week. And Connecticut is looking to end its mandate by Feb. 28, including for public schools, the Times reported. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she is gathering data about whether to lift the Empire State’s mask rules.

The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that most of the San Francisco Bay area would be lifting its mask rules, some of the strictest in the state, next week.

Sisolak’s Republican opponents have called on him to end the mask mandate, which began last summer and is based on COVID transmission numbers under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Well aint that special. I just read the LVRJ article. Sure sounds like the mayor of North Las Vegas doesn’t care for sisypants very much.

We are in the early stages of a preference cascade. In Canada I expect an avalanche of reversals over the next couple of weeks until almost everything is gone.

As far as America goes I think it’s going to get much more bitter for a couple of weeks and then the break will really begin.

As far as I’m concerned, the beginning date of the Trucker protest in Ottawa should become a national holiday in the United States. January 28 Freedom Day!

Dem polling must be scaring the s*it out of these pols. They want to get away from COVID before the Nov election.

Of course, by Nov, they will be claiming they were victorious over the pandemic.

Fear created by the latest variant (B1?) didn't take.

Leftist/liberal pols know the game is over. Now, they are trying to find the best way to exit and still claim victory.

Not to worry, they can alway find another 'fears' to scare the public. When all else fails, they still have climate change and the Jan 6 insurrection.

Isn’t it?

Reminds me of all the ballot counting that stopped in several of their states at the same time, early morning on 4 November, 2020.

Did the same individual order both?

This gives me hope. But I'm expecting him to not allow total freedom. Sissolak loves his control, and he is a follower of his man crush, Newsome.I hope I am wrong, but I predict he will maintain the masks for school children and the unvaxxed. He is still maintaining that the state is in crisis. Yes the covid numbers are down, but the hospitalizations are supposedly up. Now how does that happen with Omnicron, which has had a low rate of hospitalization because it is much milder than the other versions?

He is pushing free rapid tests this week. Which tells me he is trying to hike the number of cases. The more tests, the higher the number of supposed cases. And the greater his justification to keep the population controlled.

If he does this (removing mandate) he lose the crazy cat lady vote (his base). Say goodbye to Gov Sissypants.
