Governors in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Oregon announce plans to end school mask mandates as COVID cases plummet
2022-02-08
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The decisions in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Oregon were announced Monday

  • Changes come amid a growing sense that the virus is never going to go away and Americans need to find a way to coexist with it

  • New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called the move 'a huge step back to normalcy for our kids'

  • Murphy cited the 'dramatic decline in our COVID numbers' in announcing the rollback

  • The omicron variant fueled a spike in infections over the holidays, but cases in the state are down 50% and hospitalizations dropped off by one-third since last week

#10  Off the "unworthy, but maybe someone will mention the Trinity" pile from this afternoon...

A boomer, an avid consumer
Of popular science and rumor,
Just knew that the roux
Of the cosmos, and you,
And your little dog's poo,
And the trinity, too,
Were dark humor. Or possibly tumor.

#8  Wait for it....

New of C-19/22 strain to popup overseas or South America and spread quickly requiring further Global lockdowns and greater continued restrictive controls and mandates.

Any bets on where it will pop up this time?

#7   My preferred universal building block is stupidity. There is no end to that.

#5  Left-Wing Comic Passes Out Onstage, Fractures her Skull, Just After Anti-Religious Joke About Being Triple Vaxxed and Boosted

Comedian Heather McDonald fell hard during a show in Tempe, Arizona, but it was no joke ... it was a medical emergency.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ that the former "Chelsea Lately" star was headlining the sold-out show, when she delivered her second joke: "I'm vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted ... and flu shot and shingle shot and haven't gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most."

As soon as she delivered the joke, she just collapsed and hit her head on the floor. Everyone thought at first it was all part of the act, but it was not. She was conscious, but clearly, all was not well. An EMT and a nurse happened to be in the audience ... they rushed up on stage to provide first aid.

#4  Yes. I'm sure there are huge numbers of people ready to say, "Well, they let up. Until next time. So I will vote for them again."

Riiiiiight...

#1  Collapsing now.

When the Pfizer and DoD data, and the JHU study, and all the revisions to the inflated hospital data become widely known, how will Klain and Magoo's other handlers manage to blame their shitshow on OrangeMan?

How will they dispose of Fauxi? Chilean helicopter tour?
