I think the lift ride I had in March where I shared a quad chair with a guy who looked in his late 50's and based on his accent I'm guessing was from the NYC area, where in the few minutes we talked shared that he was almost at his 1yr Covid diagnosis anniversary, that he got really sick (to the point where the Docs told his family multiple evenings that he probably wouldn't be alive in the morning) but fortunately recovered.
He said one of the worst things in his mind about COVID was how BOTH parties politicized it for their own benefit at the harm of the public. Very poignant words on that chairlift ride

Perhaps for the first time since the start of the pandemic, the CDC can actually speak according to science instead of speaking under the influence by politics?
Dont celebrate too soon, they'll probably flip flop in a day or two

Lol, Bullshit. It's because they are now not only being called out by politicians, but also by us citizens. They hated admitting they were overestimating the outdoor transmissions. It has been shown to be anywhere from 1% all the way down to .1% Telling vaccinated people they still had to wear a mask was not helping them in their quest to get everyone vaccinated, many people were asking what's the point. Now they want more people vaccinated so they are changing their tune. A lot of this has been political on both sides.

"Us citizens"? You mean those Monday morning quarterbacks?
The same "citizen" who insist back in March of 2020 that the virus never kill anyone young and without underlying medical condition?

I heard something brilliant the other day (paraphrasing):
Half the country refused to wear a mask at the start of a pandemic, and half the country refuses to take it off at the end.

Cuomo says that he is keeping the state mandate in place because he is respecting the science.
They both can’t be right.

The rules are so arbitrary from state to state! Some states are wide open others are pseudo wide open as in outdoors wide open and indoor masking then there are city level rules of mask mandates wearing outside. The mask mandate has been lifted for outdoors in MA yet so many people that I see walking outside and many alone are still wearing masks. I think there is a instilled fear that will have people wearing masks for a long time. And they are not doing it to protect others but think it will protect them.

I'm just curious why and who changed from "Flatten the curve" and keep hospitals from overflowing to where we are at now?
