Most elected Democrats seemed to accept gotten the memo back in February that continued COVID restrictions were politically untenable moving forward, and then a new normal was abruptly alleged. People who'd inveighed against Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin'due south sensible school masking policy in Virginia just days before suddenly decided the fourth dimension had come to move toward similar or identical policies elsewhere. Hell, even Doctor Anthony Fauci is starting to sound like something of a libertarian on these matters these days:
— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) April 10, 2022Dr. Anthony Fauci says Americans should continue assessing risk for themselves as COVID-19 cases rise.
"Nosotros don't desire to pooh-pooh getting infected. I call up people sometimes say, 'Well, information technology'due south OK to get infected.' No, information technology's non." https://t.co/zflprqby1f pic.twitter.com/BGC5Z9fr2A
Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House, said Americans should continue assessing risk for themselves equally COVID-xix cases tick upwards. "It's going to be a person's decision near the individual risks they're going to accept," Fauci told "This Week" co-ballast Jonathan Karl exclusively on Sunday. "This is not going to be eradicated and it'due south not going to be eliminated," Fauci said. "So you're going to brand a question and an reply for yourself, for me every bit an individual, for you as an individual. What is my historic period? What is my status? Do I have people at home who are vulnerable that if I bring the virus habitation at that place may be a problem?"
And yet:
— Alex Silverman (@AlexSilverman) April 11, 2022Philadelphia is, for the moment, the only major metropolis in the country with a mask mandate.
We're at roughly 25% of the instance/hospitalization levels that would trigger a recommendation for one from @CDCgov - only to review, the city "response levels" are based on a % increment.
Philly's COVID numbers aren't bad at all amid the current example bump, merely the brain trust at city hall has decided to bring back the mandates. The announcement came "on a twenty-four hours when hospitalizations in Pennsylvania are the lowest they've been since last July and deaths are the lowest they've been since concluding Baronial," Allahpundit notes. Expect at this chart. Pennsylvania Republicans would be wise to flog this result ahead of general election season, as some local Democrats are already distancing themselves from the decisions being made in the land's largest city. Restored restrictions won't assist Democrats win a disquisitional Senate race in the land. In Washington, D.C., a second major university has reinstated indoor mask requirements. Young, healthy, triple-vaxxed students must once more wearable masks at American University, in addition to Georgetown:
American Academy said it will once again require masks in all buildings in its Northwest D.C. campus. The new mask guidelines, which accept effect April 12, crave masks in campus buildings except when people are alone in private offices, within dorm rooms with roommates or when actively eating or drinking. Masks remain required in campus medical facilities and on the AU shuttle. The university's online COVID guide says faculty can choose whether to wear while teaching if there is at least 3 feet of distance from others in the class.
Who knows if other jurisdictions follow suit, simply any number of prominent reimpositions of "mitigation" policies -- especially as DC elites "party on" -- is a gift to the GOP. Particularly among these voters, whom nosotros'll discuss further in a forthcoming mail service. For what it's worth, in case yous missed Spencer'due south piece on information technology yesterday, a new academic study reviewed the relative COVID policy outcomes in all 50 states plus DC, based on 3 combined metrics: (ane) Economic operation, (ii)education performance (based on days of closed schools), and (three) historic period/comorbidity-adapted COVID mortality rates. Results:
Superlative & bottom ten states on these combined metrics, per the written report. People will focus on FL vs. NY/CA dynamic for obvious reasons, merely shout-out to Utah and Nebraska: flick.twitter.com/eFP1Gzuoao

Get figure that some of the bottom-dwellers on actual outcomes, with high concentration of "pro-Science" people, are most susceptible to repeating the same mistakes, dogmatically embracing interventions with dubious or even negative efficacy. Other pointless restrictions from the feds may not be going anywhere, anytime soon, either:

Let's promise that's a head faux. Surely Democrats don't have an all-encompassing political death wish. I'll get out you with this:
