So, I mentioned that Team #LetsGoBrandon was going to release a plan, and they did. It seems a bit behind the times
White House unveils plan to move America to a new stage of the Covid pandemic
The White House on Wednesday unveiled a plan to move the nation to a new stage of the pandemic where Covid-19 “does not disrupt our daily lives,” while also preparing the nation for any new variants that may emerge.
The National Covid-19 Preparedness Plan, which will require additional funding from Congress, is focused on spending on treatments for Covid-19, preparing for new variants, keeping schools and businesses open and continuing the effort to vaccinate the nation and the world.
“Vaccines, treatments, tests, masks — these tools are how we continue to protect people and enable us to move forward safely and get back to our more normal routines. Going out to eat at a restaurant, taking that trip that’s been long delayed, arranging a play date for your kids, attending a sports game, a movie or a concert again,” White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters at a White House briefing.
Schools and businesses are open. People have been eating out at restaurants for a long time, especially in GOP run areas. People are taking trips (uber-leftist Hawaii just removed most restrictions, realizing the island state cannot survive without tourists (arriving via the use of fossil fuels)). People have been going to sporting events: remember the tens of thousands not social distancing or wearing masks at the Super Bowl? Movies? Not much point, there’s very little worth seeing. Concerts? People have been going to those for a year now. I guess, living in the Blue Bubble of D.C. these Democrats miss those things.
A major new part of the plan includes a new “Test to Treat” initiative that President Joe Biden announced during his State of the Union address Tuesday night. He said Americans would be able to get tested for Covid-19 at a pharmacy and receive free antiviral pills “on the spot” if they test positive.
Zients said hundreds of these “One-Stop Test to Treat” locations will open across the country this month. These sites will be at pharmacy-based clinics, community health centers, long-term care facilities and US Department of Veterans Affairs facilities across the country.
Probably at Planned Parenthood. And Brandon will send out more Chinese made COVID test kits! Yay?
The administration will launch a website later this month, Zients said, to help Americans locate vaccines and masks at convenient locations.
Because people had trouble with this since mask mandates started and vaccines became available, right? They think you’re stupid.
“This plan lays out the roadmap to help us fight Covid-19 in the future as we move America from crisis to a time when Covid-19 does not disrupt our daily lives and is something we prevent, protect against and treat,” a summary of the plan shared with CNN reads.
GOP areas have been doing this for over a year now.
“We look to a future when Americans no longer fear lockdowns, shutdowns, and our kids not going to school. It’s a future when the country relies on the powerful layers of protection we have built and invests in the next generation of tools to stay ahead of this virus.”
So, Democrats are going to give up their Progressivism (nice Fascism)?
Keeping schools and businesses open is a key part of the administration’s plan to keep the virus from disrupting normal life. The plan includes working with Congress to secure funding for additional tests and supplies in order to stay open, including tools to improve ventilation and air filtration. The White House will also work to get Congress to approve providing sick leave to workers who miss work because of Covid-19 or because they are caring for a loved one with the virus.
That’s about the only thing worthwhile, except, who’s paying for the sick leave? The government? Or the companies?
The plan also calls for vaccinating children under 5. He hasn’t given up on that.
The plan is here.
