There seems to be a stubborn part of our officialdom desperately seeking to extend our potential fear of this virus and expand the government’s control over Covid. The latest is the evil DV (Delta Variant).
Well, good news. Maybe you have noticed it in convenience stores, post offices, lounges. The tragic effort to restore government control is failing. Crash may be a better word.
Understandably, with so many unknowns and early fears a year ago, coupled with the confusing government direction (flattening the curve two weeks ago, 68 weeks ago), Americans were ready-almost Anxious-trust any warnings, take any precautions to avoid possible situations from contacting an invisible where you know what you know. It seems a bit too happy for the media to provide this panic porn with headlines about the death toll.
That morning, when I walked out of the post office with a large newly received package, an old woman stared with horror and squatted on the wall and shouted: “It can live on the surface for 48 hours!”
“Okay, then,” I screamed, “You accept it!” I threw the box to her. Not just kidding. This is expensive pet food.
Well, puff, now that the election is over, we have a young and important leader in the White House, with trillions of new reasons to print more money, and America’s attitude has changed dramatically.
Gallup has evidence.
A new random survey of 4,843 adult Americans found that the vast majority of people reported that their social activities had completely returned to normal.
A small percentage of 5% said they continue to completely isolate themselves from non-family members. Last year, this figure was as high as 75%.
But by the end of winter, as Donald Trump’s rush of vaccines entered more national circulation, this number had fallen to 38%. By May, it plunged further to 22%.
Another 13% now claim that they are “basically” self-isolating. This explains why I didn’t see any of them.
In Gallup’s June monthly tracking report, nearly half Polls (47%) reported that they “have not tried” to isolate themselves from non-family members the day before.
At the same time, full-time or part-time American workers said their jobs were fully back to normal (49%), while the other half (51%) were not sure. They said, no, no.
Slightly more than half (51%) of parents with children under the age of 18 said their parenting habits have returned to normal, but only 34% said the situation in school.
Other life-long routines are gradually returning to normal: social interaction (59%), shopping (52%), dining out (45%), personal finance (49%), exercise (39%).
Gallup also reported:
Although there are still differences in what Americans are willing to do, for most of the past year, the vast majority of Americans have taken these precautions, so in the past few months, all these precautions have fallen sharply.
However, at the same time, quite a few people decide to continue to avoid crowded activities (39%) and travel by plane, bus, subway or train (35%). Can you say that there is no space in the middle?
In May, many mainstream media, Including Red State, Raised serious questions about the efficacy of wearing masks. By the middle of that month, federal disease officials announced that fully vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks. Many state and city governments have followed suit.
The boom, 7% stopped immediately, and an increase of 11% in June.
In a recent survey, 24% of Americans said they had no intention of getting the vaccine, and they showed greater comfort in returning to normal life and daily life. Three-quarters of the respondents said that in terms of social interaction, their lives have returned to normal, while the proportion of respondents with small holes in their arms is 55%.
Gallup added: “Similar gaps have been seen in most of the activities rated, which highlights the overall satisfaction of unvaccinated adults with the rejection of Covid-19 preventive measures.”
All of this is useful information for anyone who might suggest a restoration of a face mask and a six-foot artificial Focsis.
