The virus isn’t surrendering. Even though deaths and new cases are dropping in most areas there are places where it’s still on the rise. The new Delta variant spreads easier and is attacking parts of the country with low rates of vaccination. As more places ease restrictions and people start traveling around more, those places will be even more vulnerable.
Those that follow the last guy and believe his lies are the ones to pay the price. (Of course, he and his whole family secretly got their shots before leaving the White House!)
I read that as a white flag. Covid has niether surrendered nor given up: Just moved to places where the infection rate remains high because enough people there aren’t vaccinated. The USA isn’t even CLOSE to the only place on Earth that’s been facing this, though we’ve managed to get at least SOME of our locations to a nearly tolerable level of vaccination.

Premature…
If it’s a victory, then another such victory and we are lost.

I wish! There’s still lots of “red” meat for the virus to gobble up

Covid-19 is on the retreat, but it’s not over yet. Thanks, Mississippi.

Our hubris could be the greatest long term advantage Covid-19 has.

We’re stringing up the “mission accomplished” banners too early, again. Not good.

Seems to me this is a false flag operation.

Somehow I don’t think the war is even remotely over, but good luck thinking that.

Oh, look; it’s magically going away just as Trump predicted. Didn’t even need the science.

We may be so “over” with the pandemic but it’s not over with us. We still need to be careful.
