Wouldn’t that be justice….
Guys, he didn't write COVID-19 in his calendar so it didn't happen . . .

That is morbid, but what if all the right wing justices get taken out and biden get's to appoint 3-4 new ones

I was pretty sure that was not a Supreme Court justice, turns out I am correct.
I feel like this covid wave is winding down


Hoping this wave ending is the final wave and things begin to ease up and improve
Fauci was useful for a while. But at this point it seems like smart, well-read people know what the risks are and can assess if the risks are worth taking and make their own good decisions without Fauci telling them to do.

And they ignorant people…well they were never listening to Fauci in the first place.
I have no issues with Fauci. Although it’s way above my pay grade I think he is doing his job well even if he tells us things we don’t want to hear.


And of course government has a role to play in communicating and shaping/executing public policy on the pandemic.

I just think signs are pointing in the right direction but that’s all it is signs… and I don’t think Fauci should tell us everything is peachy start booking flights for Christmas. No way.

We have seen repeatedly in multiple countries and in specific states that declaring victory can be a recipe for ushering in the next wave. How many times does this have to happen before we get it?

DC has so few cases…wouldn’t surprise me if the indoor mask requirement is dropped in next few weeks

I think it would make sense

You don’t want to insist people wear masks if there is little need or people might not wear them when there is a need…

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but what do you consider "so few cases?" The current seven day daily average is 161. That's still 60% of the all time high, which was just two weeks ago (269).

I consider 150 pretty few but I will leave it up to the professionals to make that determination


Just saying wouldn’t surprise me.

They re-instituted the current mask mandate on July 31. The daily average on that date was 61. Now it is at 161. I realize we are headed in the right direction (and on July 31 were headed in the wrong direction.) But I say give the mask mandate a while longer. Isn't it funny that I would say that?
A few weeks more would not surprise me


But guess DC is running things fairly conservative so who knows

that was key and I made sure to include that word
These are really not bad numbers. If the government would get off their ass and extend vaccines to all school-age children so you see those numbers increase by another 6-8% and stop being so skimpy with the boosters, we'd beat this thing down pretty quickly.
