As if we didn’t know this was going to happen.

Three months from now it will be, “What virus? We conquered
something Trump couldn’t handle at all.”

[cgbg]

I wonder if he looks at the actual data

Good post.

When the Democrats say "follow the science" what they really mean is "shut up, peons, we will do whatever we want to do--all the rest is spin."

Lamont was Cuomo's de facto baby brother--now that Cuomo is in the dog-house, Lamont is looking for cover...

oops! more of the country is going to the Neanderthals! This time up north! Fauci’s gonna have another conniption fit too as his grip on pseudo-science continues to slip ...

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

He’ll have to fight Newsolini for that honor...

I live in CT and I've been living my normal life ever since this nonsense happened. I go to restaurants, I go outdoors every day and I go to my office in Manhattan at least once a week.

This "pandemic" was always a bunch of hooey. I never even had so much of a sniffle this past year and I've been everywhere up and down the Eastern Seaboard sans mask (except inside businesses where it is required).

That’s AFTER Saint Paddies day.

Quick, have someone wake up Joemetia and have him scream, “Neanderthal!!!”

Oh, a Democrat? Nevermind, let him rest.

[adorno]

First we had simple Neanderthals.

Then came the red Neanderthals.

Now...

Blue Neanderthals.

Soon. all-American Neanderthals.

Heard masks and social distancing still in effect. Don’t see how this lifts limits on seating capacity in houses of worship. My church has seating in every other pew with a three person limit ( unless you are family) If social distancing still in effect you can’t increase current numbers in the actual church, would need a parish hall to add capacity

My granddaughter is at Brown....Bio stuff...brain stuff...

[freedomispriceless]

I also live in Connecticut and have kept my usual routine throughout the pandemic. Only concession has been the mask when necessary.

[Sacajaweau]

My grandson works at Electric Boat in Ct. They’re constantly tested and wear masks. I’m sure they will continue to do so.

[Vendome]

So Convenient

[9YearLurker]

Still the idiotic mask mandate, however.

[Dave W]

Biden will get all the credit - the media will ensure it.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Ned Lamont: Me Oog! Me hate fire!

(At least according to 46)

[Sicon]

Restaurants will be “allowed”... with mask requirements and social distancing.

They take most of your freedoms, and then you’re supposed to be happy when they give a little of it back?!

F these tyrants. Until there are no mandates and no restrictions, you’ve still lost your freedom.

[McGruff]

I’m shocked. Poor small businesses have been hit hardest.

[BillyBonebrake]

Fishing season starts a month early too. Happy about that.

[Wallace T.]

Strange. Connecticut is loosening up, yet deep red West Virginia and Alabama are not, at least for now.
