CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 5, 2021
ARE WE FINALLY SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WITH COVID? IT SEEMS SO.
WITH MORE THAN 40 PERCENT OF ALL U.S. ADULTS FULLY VACCINATED AND THE DAILY NUMBER OF NEW CASES DECLINING, GOVERNORS ACROSS THE U.S. ARE BROADLY ROLLING BACK RESTRICTIONS IMPLEMENTED DURING THE PANDEMIC. ON MONDAY, GOVERNORS FROM NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY SAID THEIR STATES ON MAY 19 WOULD LIFT MOST CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS AT PLACES OF BUSINESSES. CONNECTICUT WILL DO THE SAME, EXCEPT FOR INDOOR MASKING REQUIREMENTS. CONNECTICUT IS THE FIRST STATE TO REACH 50 PERCENT OF ADULTS VACCINATED.
FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS, WHO CONTINUES TO RAISE HIS NATIONAL PROFILE, SIGNED A BILL SUSPENDING ALL COVID MANDATES, THOUGH INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES AND AIRLINES FLYING IN AND OUT OF FLORIDA CAN MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS.
THE CREDIT FOR ALL OF THIS GOES TO THE GOVERNORS, MOSTLY REPUBLICANS, TO DONALD TRUMP FOR HIS WARP SPEED DEVELOPMENT OF THE VACCINES AND TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR DISTRIBUTION. GUESS WHO THE MEDIA WILL CREDIT. I’M CAL THOMAS
