Covid News Around the World One Year Later

[Aragorn243]

We are normalizing here. More restrictions end next week. Restaurants can go to 75% if they self certify they are compliant, 50% if they don't. Sporting venues can have fans in the stands at 25% capacity. A lot of school districts remain closed although most of the holdouts will open April 1. We have been eating out a couple times a week, not ordering out, dinning in the restaurant. Florida and Texas are now fully open from what I understand. NY, PA, NY, MI and CA governors are all under investigation now for the excessive deaths in nursing homes. NY's governor is soon going to be impeached and likely removed. His own party controls the state legislature and are the ones impeaching him. No such luck in the other four states so far.

This is what we are learning. States that locked down vs states that did not show virtually no difference in the outcome of the disease. The only significant difference is economic. States that did not shut down are fairing much better economically. Theaters will be opening soon.

Personal observation today, yard sales starting up. Massive crowd at the one I went to today, neighborhood type. So people are getting sick of being cooped up. 75% were wearing masks. Outside, plenty of room to social distance, perfect sunny weather, about zero chance of contracting the virus.
