Wasn’t that the point of all the COVID measures, from massive lockdowns and restrictions in some states to much looser ones in others, from mask mandates to business closures to closing schools for a bit (and longer with some states) to developing vaccines (which Dems said wouldn’t happen for years)?

Tens of thousands of students walked into classrooms in Chicago public schools on Monday for the first time in nearly a year. Restaurants in Massachusetts were allowed to operate without capacity limits, and venues like roller skating rinks and movie theaters in most of the state opened with fewer restrictions. And South Carolina erased its limits on large gatherings.
Across the country, the first day of March brought a wave of reopenings and liftings of pandemic restrictions, signs that more Americans were tentatively emerging from months of isolation, even if not everyone agrees that the time is ripe. (snip)
Given all that, some experts worry that the reopenings are coming a bit too soon.
“We’re, hopefully, in between what I hope will be the last big wave, and the beginning of the period where I hope Covid will become very uncommon,†said Robert Horsburgh, an epidemiologist at the Boston University School of Public Health. “But we don’t know that. I’ve been advocating for us to just hang tight for four to six more weeks.â€
The director of the C.D.C., Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said at the briefing on Monday that she was “really worried†about the rollbacks of restrictions in some states. She cautioned that with the decline in cases “stalling†and with variants spreading, “we stand to completely lose the hard-earned ground we have gained.â€
Things have to get somewhat back to normal at some point, and the elites just can’t keep scaring everyone and keeping people locked down, businesses closed, businesses running at low capacity. People are opting out of this, which is certainly one of the reasons more and more people are playing the “leave your nose uncovered” game with their masks.
