Put the masks back on !!! The GOP will fight this because they opened their states too quickly.


This should be no surprise to anyone. These are the states and areas of the country that opened up too soon or didn't bother to have real policies to end the spread of COVID-19. Florida is still in play as the SUPER SPREADER STATE.

Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are all guilty of having the lowest vaccinations rates in the country. Below is a map of the states illustrating the low rates of vaccination (click here).

These state governors are a problem. They do not care about the people so much as their POPULOUS seats of power. It is time to hold them accountable for the human pain and suffering that occurred under their administrations and THE DANGER they present in allowing the spread of the virus and it's variants that could lead to a Level Three Virus that will ultimately destroy life.

A Level Three Variant and/or initial virus anywhere in the world must be contained for its ability to kill anyone it infests regardless of vaccination.

If anyone needs to understand excellence in governance in a pandemic look to Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

To the left, Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

Illinois will follow federal recommendations (click here) that even fully vaccinated people should once again wear masks indoors in areas where the coronavirus is surging — which currently does not include most of the Chicago area, state public health officials said Tuesday.

The updated mask guidelines issued Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said masks should be worn indoors by everybody, including the fully inoculated, in areas of “substantial” or “high” transmission....

It is extremely difficult to control the spread of any bacteria and/or virus in any city because of population density. Yet, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has done it. Hopefully, that track record will continue and Chicago will remain open with minimal incidents of COVID-19 and/or its variants.

Her ability to work with the community and bring a common understanding for a common purpose to end the spread of a lethal virus is remarkable.

IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (click here) is now recommending that fully vaccinated people put their masks back on when indoors in public, at least in the areas of the country where COVID-19 is spreading fastest.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Tuesday that "the Delta variant behaves uniquely differently" compared to other versions of the virus, and that vaccinated people "may be contagious and spread the virus to others."

But the CDC isn't recommending that everyone mask up again.

The agency's new guidance is limited to places where COVID-19 transmission is deemed "substantial" or "high," meaning that there are either more than 50 cases per 100,000 people in the area, over a seven-day period, or that the COVID-19 test positivity rate is higher than 5%...
