“New coronavirus infections are rising in several U.S. states, despite record vaccinations — an increase experts attribute to the growing reach of new variants and widespread pandemic fatigue after a year of public health restrictions. The seven-day average of newly reported cases climbed 2.6 percent on Sunday, even as overall hospitalizations and deaths remain down.

The coronavirus is not going anywhere fast, unfortunately the restrictions meant to curb the spread of the virus are disappearing far more quickly. The Coronavirus variants that are spreading rapidly should give health officials and politicians pause. The restrictions that are being lifted need to be moved back several weeks or months until a majority of Americans are vaccinated. Florida Governor Desantis, among others, however has never been one to take science and health recommendations seriously and therefore more restrictions will be lifted then imposed going forward, unless there is a massive viral surge. Then it’s too late.
