With an R0 of 5.7, at least 82 percent of the population needs to be immune to COVID-19 to stop its transmission through vaccination and herd immunity.
Dems will continue to push their agenda of using COVID to try and topple Trump. If they fail, they'll continue to push for a national mask mandate and a national vaccine plan. If they succeed and Biden is elected, they'll implement a nation-wide mask mandate to show that Biden is taking action while Trump allegedly "did nothing" to stop the spread of the virus.
Many places have already extended the mask orders past the Election.
Austin just extended it to mid December.
Sturgis. If there is not some massive spike after Sturgis, but the media will not cover it at all
I agree, I think the plan is to keep masks around for good, The MSM keeps telling everyone this is "the new normal". And its just another way the liberals are consistently eroding our rights one inch at a time. They don't take the whole rope at once, just inch by inch until they've got it all.
