It already is over. Masking should be a choice at this point. If the experts don't like it I don't care. Life needs to move on. The CDC should not have the power to make law.


If it’s over why are people still getting sick and dying at a massively increased rate?

You seem too think we can still stop the spread. That ship has sailed. Unless you want on and off mandates its time to move on.,

So in other words we should just let the virus spread unchecked and to hell with the deaths.

Yes. Im done with things being canceled or restricted over one virus and i'm not the only one. Biden should not appeal this and let it stand. I hope the Appeals Court and Supreme Court affirms this and think its likely they do.

When did you join the trump party?

The CDC doesn’t have the power to make law.

It's not about stopping the spread now, it's stopping the severity of the spreading.

Well, if you don't like listening to medical experts, I won't listen to you about how polling works.

You didn't even want to do anything on day one, so you have no room to talk.

At least we are wanting to stop people losing their jobs through the spread of the virus.

I want on-and-off mandates to end, but unless we change what we're doing then we're just going to continue seeing on-and-off mandates as we continue seeing COVID waves.

what should we be doing differently? The more on and off mandates you do the less popular it becomes and the less willing people are to listen to experts.

I'd suggest starting with listening to public health and virology experts, but that's probably not the answer you want to hear.

You have been told MANY times what is needed. We don’t have to tell you again.

It’s called a pandemic. You would know this if you understood what endemic means.

As needed mandates are what will help the pandemic end.

We understand the anti-vax/mask types don’t like listening to the experts. That is why punishments are handed out.

Didn't call him stupid. I said its dumb to appeal it. Let the ruling stand let individual agencies chose for themselves. The CDC should only be able to make recommendations.

Then folks can ignore it because it's merely a recommendation, everybody wins!

Score for “herd immunity”!

We really need to rethink how we teach science in this country.

Daily reminder to just put a fucking mask on, you're safer that way. You don't wanna be safe... No that's it, put a mask on.

Why do we even need mandates. Are people truly so lacking in self-preservation? If the answer is yes... Jesus Christ.

I guess my self-preservation question is answered.

You're the exact reason why mandates pass. Ironic.
