The U.S. economy isn’t going to be locked down, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.
“This is not March 2020 or even January 2021. We’re not going to lock down our economy or our schools because our country’s in a much stronger place than when we took office,” Psaki told reporters in Washington.
She credited President Joe Biden’s “leadership in vaccinating American people and getting economic relief to those who need it.”
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have increased across the country in recent weeks, a rise officials have attributed to the Delta variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
While some teachers unions have recently called for all-virtual classes to be held at the beginning of the upcoming school year, and a number of states and counties have re-imposed mask mandates and put into place vaccine verification requirements, the United States isn’t poised to go into the lockdown it did last year, Psaki said.
“We are not going back. We are not turning back the clock,” she said.
The U.S. government has been preparing for the possibility of the virus evolving and becoming more difficult to deal with.
“We’ve been preparing, like boys scouts and girl scouts, for this moment and the potential that there would be ups and downs in our recovery, there would be ups and downs as we fight the virus, and that’s why a number of programs were designed to extend for several months beyond this summer,” Psaki told reporters.

Any official pronouncements are always the opposite of truth.
They are going to lock down the economy and the schools.
First though, they are going to do the Clean vs Unclean “othering” treatment of the unvaxed in the economy and the schools.
"We'll force YOU to lock down your economy and your schools"
There. Fixed it.
They plan to OD everyone on vaccine
Just wear masks forever though. Bait and switch
That’s nice Ms. Psaki, now back to your boss and his predilection for fondling children...
As of whatever time she said that. Five minutes she may circle back. 👺🐖💄
No I think the administration is “blinking”...they want their cake and want to eat it. They know a destroyed economy won’t be good for them and anybody else but they want to fix it so that everyone will praise dems for fixing everything. If they try to lock everything up again then they face a massive rebellion, even amongst their own ranks. The bulk of the unvaccinated lays in their own minority constituents despite the attempts to “ Trump whiten” all the unvaccinated. That’s real dirty secret. Yeah a bunch of freepers are also unvaccinated by choice but those are separate issues.
I found this elsewhere:
Them: You won’t be able to attend a concert or football games if you don’t take the 💉
Me: I couldn’t care less
Them: You can’t go to a large shopping mall
Me: I’ll survive
Them: You can’t drink at the bar
Me: I’ll drink at home
Them: You can’t enter night clubs
Me: I don’t go out at night
Them: We’ll tell your employer
Me: I’m self employed
Them: You can’t be in the city
Me: I prefer living out in nature
Them: You can’t go to McDonald’s or Burger King
Me: It’s gross anyways
Them: You can’t eat at restaurants
Me: I’ll order takeaway or I will cook at home (preferred)
Them: You can’t shop at large grocery stores
Me: I can grow my own food and continue to buy from local farmers
Them: You can’t be part of society
Me: I already checked out
Them: Your kids can’t come to school
Me: I’ll homeschool
Them: You’ll be on your own
Me: I’m surrounded by my family and tribe and all the people reaching the same conclusion all over the world
Them: You can’t choose for yourself
Me: I just did
Them: What can we tempt you with?
Me: Nothing
Riiiiiiight!
Yes, they are. Another power grab by the socialists, communists, anarchists, Marxists, leftists and other subhuman filth.
They can’t reverse Trump’s fair tariffs with China trade if the economy is locked down. I guarantee that Free Traitoring and MACB are the only parts that will be at 100%.
They can’t “teach” CRT with the “schools” closed, either.
Things are tough all over for the enemies of America. :(
There are a lot of things the Biden regime said they wouldn’t do .... and they’ve done it anyway. I don’t believe a word Psaki says or anything coming out of the regime.
I have a friend like this—she’s always homeschooled and never gets in a plane so she barely noticed the pandemic
I heard the “Roadrunner” cartoon theme song in my head as I was reading your post. They are twisting themselves into a pretzel to figure out how to rid the county of rugged individualism
We’re dead, Jim.
States will.
Which means they are.
