Now that President Joe Biden is in the White House, Democrats who have locked down their states over the last year suddenly feel the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic is no longer worth closing down for.
Govs. Gretchen Whitmer (MI) and Andrew Cuomo (NY) have said restaurants and bars can reopen.
Michigan was one of the most locked-down states in the nation. Whitmer went so far as to ban Michiganders from making "unnecessary" purchases while they shopped. Things like garden seeds were on that very list.
Between Feb. 1 and 21, restaurants can reopen at 25 percent capacity with a maximum of 100 people in attendance. They do, however, have to close by 10 p.m. and tables must be six feet apart, with no more than six people per table, The Detroit News reported. Owners are also responsible for collecting diners' contact information, should the health department need to conduct contact tracing.
"The science around this virus is settled, and if we can all wear masks and be very smart about congregating, and not do it unless it's necessary, washing our hands, doing that social distancing, we will be in a strong position in a few weeks," Whitmer said during a press conference. "And we'll be able to do more. That's the hope but the reality of this moment is that wearing masks and being smart is going to have to be how we operate for quite a while."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (NY) had similar concerns, saying the state has to reopen.
“We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo said. “We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely."
Restaurants throughout the state are allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity, as long as their area is in the "orange zone." New York City, however, has an outright ban on indoor dining because of its population size," POLITICO reported.
.@ClayTravis if you dare to notice all the Dem cities that are magically allowing small businesses to open up—mere HOURS after Biden was sworn in—that will make the media narrative that much harder.
(It’s not like Pfizer announced a vaccine mere hours after the Nov election....) https://t.co/CCjO0eMK5K— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 23, 2021
What suddenly made these two wake up and realize that lockdowns don't work? Was it the months of stringent rules or the fact that President Biden is now in office? The fact that they waited until a Biden-Harris administration tells you all you need to know. Democrats have used the virus as a political weapon.
Major fraud, skip the experimental vaccine.
cuz Trump was defeated.
Nothing opening in CA.
How many restaurants are left?
There was an article here a few days ago, perhaps less, that
talked about the spread of the disease in restaurants.
It was revealed that less than 1.00% of the infections were
generated by attendees at restaurants.
Even though they are opening, I don’t think you can stop the hysteria so easily and quickly. For myself, if this fun trip to a restaurant or bar involves wearing a mask, I’ll pass.
Do you really want to go that badly? Or stay home, as we’ve all been doing for months. After all, it’s not like the state is offering a two for one special. It will be months or perhaps years before business turns around.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
According to an analysis I read a few weeks ago, the largest fraction of cases follow restaurant and/or bar visits.
Isn’t that something.
It’s hard to make heads from tails from the articles that
contradict each other.
Here’s a listing from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
R & Bs are 8th on the list.

Political Weapon,
Makes one Think.
And just like that, there were no bodies lying around everywhere and COVID wasn’t scary anymore.
Thanks to
ST. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. of DelaWare and Hoe from California, the Corona Virus is in full retreat!
> The science around this virus is settled, and if we can all wear masks and be very smart about congregating... we will be in a strong position in a few weeks
Once again reality sounds like a parody.
I’m sure our restaurants in FL would be interested in purchasing restaurant items from NYC for pennies on the dollar.
Because Biden is in office, no other reason. This was all a political charade and we were the fools
