I haven’t criticized Biden at all. I’ve criticized people that say we are improving now due to Biden. He hasn’t been in office long enough to do anything. It’s just childish gloating about nothing that diminishes the true heroes.
This will end, and probably very shortly. Go out and about any weekend and stores and restaurants are packed. Manufacturing workers have been back to work full tilt since May. I get to 5-6 factories a week, and only about half even require masks anymore. The only holdouts are a few school systems and college professors. And that will change by next school year or I guarantee there will be hell to pay. Colleges are going to see financial hardship and public schools will lose community support.
What else can happen? Wait for variant after variant? How do you even know if one variant is more deadly or worse than another? Our scientific community has done an awful job of cataloging and mapping samples, so they are just spitballing off of incomplete data.
And no one is even talking about the elephant in the room. They are starting to hit the critical mass as far as those that will take the vaccine in the subgroups. I watch a four county area and they are begging people to show up at clinics. All the way through the day of the clinic, messages pop up that there are still tons of spots left. Nursing homes are pretty much tapped out at 50-60 percent. Maybe all these chuckleheads like Trump, Cuomo, Biden, Pelosi, Fauci, Newsome, Dewine, et al. could have put their political game playing aside and and done a full court blitz and tried to ease the anxiety throughout the public about the safety of the vaccine from day #1 of development. They did the opposite and questioned the approval process. WTF? But hey, stuff like the crying nurse commercial was money well spent. May of even resulted in more people meandering out and about with their underwear mask “saving” people.
Sorry the vaccine safety issue is on Trump and his followers. Have you heard any democratic leader question the safety or necessity of the vaccine? I have not. Otherwise I agree with you unless a variant develops that does pose a truly serious threat to life and the current vaccines aren’t effective in fighting it. I believe science will eventually defeat COVID, but that’s probably going to take a lot more cooperation from all the American people.
