Not bad enough to warrant lockdowns and perpetual mask mandates.

California and New York lifted their covid restrictions the past few weeks... even though the pandemic is not over...

Florida and Texas were right.

They are lifting restrictions because deaths and hospitalizations are coming down [1].

2000 deaths a day.

Still higher than most of the pandemic over the last two years.

They're lifting them because they're realizing the restrictions are pointless and hopeless.

Which means they were wrong all along and Tx and FL were right.
