I don't see how this is moving the goal posts. They wanted to flatten the curve to avoid hospitals being overwhelmed, that is entirely different than wanting to develop a vaccine to open things back up. This crap about them wanting to shut down indefinitely is paranoid nonsense, a good economy and happy people are good for politicians.
Sure there is. The change in demographics for this uptick just adds to the mountain of evidence of the vaccine effectiveness. More Americans are getting vaccinated every day, that is the end in sight.
I swear some of you are like children screaming because it's still 10 more minutes drive until ice cream.
I'm not a Trump supporter.
I voted for Biden. I don't think "they" wanting proverbial lockdowns are Biden and the Dems.
"They" seem to be the twitter mob...the cancel culture types..the people with no friends who now have a common religion of calling people stupid over covid, calling everyone racists, bigots, anti-trans, etc.
These are the people that feed off the "this new variant is more CONTAGIOUS" hysteria.
I don't care about how contagious it is. I care about outcomes, and I'm hearing almost no information about actual outcomes, which are ALL THAT ACTUALLY MATTER.
I know dozens of people who have tested positive for this virus..of those dozens, I know 3 who had bad symptoms, and neither has had long term negative effects. This is not sufficient enough lethality or danger to shut a society down past a year. It simply isn't. This is supposed to be a free society, and the people should be able to decide how much risk they are willing to take. I'm pretty sure at this point, the vast majority of people are done with lockdowns. I had the vaccine, all my neighbors had it or are getting it, including the Trump supporters flying blue lives matter flags, including those who HAD the virus!! Regardless of what you want to believe, the goalposts HAVE been moved. It was 4-6 weeks, then it was wait for the vaccine, then it was wait for hospital capacities to catch up. Some hospitals in the NY metro area are talking about laying people off and closing sections because no one is there.
You can't continue to support an approach to the virus based solely on the fact that you want to be able to call Trump supporters and GOP supporters stupid. It's not rational.
We interrupt the irrational rants about how Biden couldn't have won the election because his rallies were small with socially distanced people for...
I've never made that argument. What about the hypocrisy of any leftist mass gathering not being a covid spreader, but any smaller gathering that isn't leftist is?

That's right.
BLM riot....not a mention of super spreader event.
Church choir singing...super spreader event.
200K illegals coming into the country and bused all over...not a mention of super spreader event.
Thanksgiving dinner with your family....potential super spreader event.
The double talk and outright lies have made so many people skeptical of our government that no one listens or cares anymore.
One can only hope that vaccine refusers will winnow themselves out of the general population due to their stupidity.
The original Covid-l9 was a wasp ' sting compared to the deadliness of the variants. But, by all means, refuse the shot!
The results will be revealed by the mid-term elections.
I won’t be getting the vaccine. I doubt I’ll die if I get covid. Most people don’t. Sorry to disappoint you and not actually die.
It depends on the variant- and there are a lot of them. Some are slightly more effective at getting past the vaccine. A few are a LOT more effective.
Once we get everybody vaccinated, a vaccine-resistant variant will inevitably show up. Then we'll either get a booster shot or get sick.
And life goes on
That's the point. At some point, you have to have an end game for masks and lockdowns and social distancing. 18 months at this point should be the max. By the end of this summer, when school starts again in September in the northeast, everything should be back on regardless of test rates and variants.
It should not slow down unless significant numbers of people get seriously ill and hospitalizations tax the systems capacity. I hear from those I know who work in hospitals that most people who come in with covid are out in a day due to how it is being dealt with therapeutically.

BLM protests and riots actually prevented covid. Don’t you remember that “study” that told us that?

The mainstream media is propaganda straight out of 1984.

Yes. BLM was the most effective "vaccine" as it allowed thousands of people to scream shoulder to shoulder without a single case spread. The vaccines delivered through needles are only 95 percent effective at most.
