Fauci thinks we need to wear a mask until there's not a single death from Covid and that's totally crazy. It's time to go back to normal now. The health care system can handle what cases occur and no matter how loudly the politicians scream and try to exert maximum control it's time to wean them off their "pandemic power grab".

At 65k cases a day, we are nowhere near herd immunity. Herd immunity is difficult to apply to viruses that typically mutate. The flu mutates ALOT and conraviruses SOME. Nonetheless, herd immunity likely can never be truly achieved due to this. A Covid vaccine will likely be needed every 1-2 years for the rest of our lives. Some of you are just going to have to come to grips with that.
