Hexbear refuses to let me post the link in the URL field. And the article was the only one I found that laid things out so clearly. The American media simply does not give much of a fuck about covid anymore.
CDC: Nearly Every American Can Drop Wearing Masks Indoors
COVID-19 transmission levels, however, remain high across the majority of the country.
The CDC is really on a pre-election roll. This is from a few days ago...
The CDC has decided to stop tracking and releasing COVID-19 case and death data on a daily basis. These metrics will now be updated only once a week, the agency said today.
the death spike after the mid terms will be monumental. not being a doomer or whatever, i just don't see how it plays out any other way. we don't have enough anti-virals at this point afaik
I don't know if it'll be monumental but I assume it'll be at least bad. And everything will be an extra 10 times as fucked because the covid money is gone or misspent (like on the cops), nothing has been done to improve filtration (and ventilation) and - of course - most Americans will simply refuse to put their masks back on.
The biggest spikes will probably be a few weeks after Christmas. I wonder how people will cope with the fact they visited grandma and a few weeks later she was dead of covid.
