COVID is over. Oh, not with Anthony Fauci. Not with the media. Not with the sour-faced Karens ... But with normal people, especially outside the big urban areas, it’s over.
The Atlantic scandalized its readers by reporting ... Where I Live, No One Cares About COVID.. No one cares.
...
And with good reason... especially after the experience of the Diamond Princess cruise ship suggested that COVID was a lot less scary than we were told.
...
the damages wrought by lockdowns ... have been worse than those wrought by COVID itself.
...
People have seen through this, and they’re over it. And not just in the United States — in London .. everyone there is cheerfully going unmasked, crowding into pubs and generally ignoring whatever rules
...
the powers that be have revealed themselves to be dishonest and inept. Fauci lied about masks at the beginning. Andrew Cuomo sent COVID patients into nursing homes (it made money .. which caused thousands of elderly people to die. Scarcely a day goes by without some bigshot — California Gov. Gavin Newsom .. Nancy Pelosi, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Anthony Fauci himself — being found breaking his or her own rules on masking
...
School kids are forced to eat their lunches outdoors and wear masks while adults gather in bars, restaurants and sporting events. The entire COVID apparatus is collapsing under the weight of its own absurdity.
And most people by now have had COVID or know many people who have. It’s not smallpox, it’s not Ebola; in many people it’s not as bad as the flu.
...
Amtrak, facing broad resistance from its workers, suspended its vaccine mandate for employees. And Colorado’s Democrat Gov. Jared Polis said no to a mask mandate, declaring, “The emergency is over.”

But the vaccine mandates may not be over. SCOTUS could rule that the Vegetable’s executive orders must stand. Then I will be forced to choose between jab and job if my religious exemption is refused.
The Diamond Princess cruise ship .. 3,711 passengers and crew were quarantined together in tight quarters with the virus present for a month.
13 died ( 0.35 percent ) .… a largely elderly population likely with many pre-existing health issues...
Mortality rate for all in the U.S. population would be less...

I don’t think they should be abolished, they just need to be Modified:
In all cases where an Emergency Health order is issued that restricts, limits or infringes on the right liberties or freedom of one or more citizens, ALL Persons holding elected office and all persons holding a Appointment to office, Shall Serve without Compensation, All other Public Employee’s shall have thier salary reduced by 50%. All Salary and Pay reductions Shall continue for 180 days from the end of any such Health Order and there shall be NO REIMBURSEMENT of Any Kind for reduced or lost wages for ANYONE..
MAKE IT HURT!!!
If Covid was as bad as what the powers that be wanted it to be, people would be dropping like flies. Thousands of people at football games, very few wearing masks (that never worked anyway, in reality), millions not vaxxed, and all they can do is scream “new variant, more deadly that ever!”. It’s absurd. And while I’m on a rant, does it bother anybody that one of the vaxxes is now being recommended against use? That a short term serious side effect is just now being publicized even though informed people have been hearing about for months? If they didn’t know about a short term problem, what could they possibly know about long term effects? Rant over.
“...COVID-19 powers...”?
That was illicit anyway!
Once they had this great tool for accumulating power they ran with it. They had tried various fear-based schemes before - nuclear winter, global warming, etc. None had really gotten any traction. Personal, immediate fear worked though. We are now living in occupied territory. We are ruled by unseen powers through a dementia-addled puppet using un-Constitutional powers.
For me, covid is over. Masks are over. Vaccines are over. History. Any business wants me to wear a mask, doesn't want my business, I'll go elsewhere. Anyone tries to force a vaccine on me, I will consider that a deadly threat and respond accordingly. That said, I don't expect I can exactly return to "normal" as in 2019 behaviors - yet. Too many others are still buying into this excrement. I expect it is going to get worse before it gets better.
no, it wont be over until we sweep these commie facists from office!
And Colorado’s Democrat Gov. Jared Polis said no to a mask mandate, declaring, “The emergency is over.”
Just as we moved from Free Florida to Colorado. Thank you for being less insane.
As soon as the Pfizer pill is available, the pandemic is over
In Indonesia, we have been averaging <300 new cases and <10 deaths per day for well over one month, this in a country of 270 millions with ~30% vaccinated. Most people now just laugh at the notion of the omicron onslaught.
Yet their school insists that my grandchildren aged six and ten must get the jab to return to school.
Colorado Governor Polis is not mandating masks at the state level , however he is allowing local county and city tyrants to do that - as he prepares for his re-election campaign.
The media is still promoting irrational fear.
Sorry but they won’t stop the EUA. Too much easy money on the patents. The only way is for the states to impose proper liability to the companies that mandate anything, vax included. Any adverse effect requires $10M restitution for the person and healthcare provided for life from the company. see how long it lasts. And an ingrown toenail is an adverse reaction since the testing has produced no list.
Get ready for the next engineered “variant” to put a stop to uppity folks venturing into a return to normalcy.
I’m starting to sense a treason trial with Fauci hanging for crimes against the American people.
