Half measures crush the economy and the spirit, but not the spread. Full on lock downs. A little pain saves the economy and spirit in the long term

The Governor of Arizona has forbidden all school districts and local governments from requiring masks or vaccinations to work or attend. And they wonder why teachers are p*ssed at the state. Oh, and the legislature, those fine people who brought you the illegal ballot recount, has passed a LAW to back him up. :fool:

Must be frustrating to be in lockdown again, Andy B even if (nearly) everyone involved understands the reasons.
The UK approach has led to town being completely flat (fewer people around than during lockdown #3), record case counts despite a reduction in testing (at least that part can be said to be despite government preference - free home tests valid for anything except post-foreign travel are being handed out at the local library and a staffed test centre set up in the middle of the shops) and a constrant stream of cases in hospital. (Fortunately, hardly any of them are going to the ICU unit, and my particular area isn't cancelling routine operations again yet - last year, it paused them for seven months, and had to pause again for a while in January).
Andy B:
It'll only be frustrating Ali if it drags on but we'll have to wait and see.
The UK have done it tough and Aussie are doing different to anyone else in Melbourne there was an engagement party this week and a dozen cases came from that.

The Governors of Florida & Texas have done the same thing. I have no idea what these people are thinking.
Also, I just started a separate thread that Suzuka has been cancelled due to Covid.

Could it all be down to the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave" epithet that is so frequently lauded from your shores?
Many of us on the other side of the pond look upon your gun control laws - or rather lack of them - as a recipe for disaster probably on the same scale as any ongoing threat from covid.
Too often some freedoms require others not just to be brave but to pay an ultimate price. :(
