On 27 April, President Biden pointed to vaccines as helping the country “get back to more normal living.”
Alluding to the CDC recommendation that masks don’t have to be mandatory 100 percent of the time when outdoors, the president encouraged citizens to get together socially and enjoy fresh air and recreation “as long as you are vaccinated.”
The New York Times, in its 28 April Coronavirus Update, noted that President Biden “set an example” by walking up to the podium with a mask on, removed it before he spoke, and kept it off as he was walking back to the White House, saying he wanted people to see him “take it off and not put it back on until I walk back inside.”
Americans Still Scared
Considering that Americans have been so beaten down by the yearlong barrage of anxiety from political leaders and Presstitutes constantly selling COVID Fear and Hysteria, they are reluctant to take off their masks. As The New York Times reported last Thursday:
“The new mask guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says that vaccinated people can go barefaced in most outdoor settings, is a baby step back to normalcy. But after the trauma of the past year, many Americans are finding it difficult to uncover their faces so quickly—let alone return to their old ways. Do we shake hands now? Hug? Dine indoors? These are questions made more complicated by ever-changing rules, which can vary from state to state and even among neighborhoods.”
TRENDPOST: In the NYT’s “Coronavirus Update” last Thursday, they quoted CDC Director Rochelle Walensky who said she was “hopeful” now that infectious cases in the U.S. dropped 20 percent since 12 April.
It should be noted this is the same director of the CDC who, just a few weeks ago, said she felt “impending doom” due to increases in coronavirus cases (even though the fatality rate has been significantly dropping since the beginning of last fall.)
