Around my way ?
Depends where you are….
Some places that are close to New York City have people still walking around mostly with masks…
But?
Drive out to the suburbs, which are GOPer country…
And there is little to no mask wearing…
Covid hasn’t gone away…
Everyday I hear of another person who has covid…
But it’s just not like the last two years….
School’s don’t quarantine whole classes…
Student’s do NOT wear masks anymore….
And people sit right up on each other in restaurants …
The pandemic is over most people are led to believe and they want it…
With the Omicron infections and vaccine’s?
Things are like the Flu….
There ARE still mandates for shots for some employee’s…
You still need a mask for riding on public transportation and airplanes …
But there is pressure officals to make those go away….
Harry Enten, over at CNN thinks the ‘all clear’ benfits Republicans…
The difference between Democrats and Republican support on this is 3% points…
I’d bet that’s about within the margin of error on the Gallup poll Enten is basing his piece on….
Biden’s problem is the economy…
The virus doesn’t help the GOPer’s one bit…
The mandates are about gone….
But the focus on the economy IS a problem for Biden….
No doubt…
And THAT helps the Republicans …
Yup…
Americans don’t care about the coronavirus anymore
