The US has started relaxing it’s vaccine requirement laws for some businesses. Is this the end of Covid-19? Mass events such as the super bowl was held with no major outbreaks. The only significant difference was persons were required to wear mask.

Nobody was wearing a mask at Super Bowl lol!!! 😂 Even Gavin Newsom got busted!

It's just emperors new cloths are being called out...and they think Ukraine is a suitable distraction to quietly change policy...

Phased Return To Normal is good, but we need a good and dedicated management team in place. A management team that is not only there for the first few days, and afterwards everyone goes back to their don't care attitude.I know its not easy to reverse decades of poor customer service, laziness and low morale in the public service. Not all civil servant fit this profile, The majority or thousands of civil servants are are hard working, dedicated employees who come to work on time and never able to leave on time because of their dedication. P.M.H have some of the hardest working employees in the country, but the one or two hundred good for nothing unemployable workers make the institution look bad. A new Phased Return To Normal is a good start.

Omicron busted the myth of any possible herd immunity being possible as 100% vaccinated at a micro level on all Cruiseships proved its deceit then at the macro level 100% vaccinated nations like Iceland,Israel, UK and Denmark realized the futility of vaccines opting now for simple health precautions. But the big global people are shielding the results of forced experiamtal vaccines on humans. They have the medical data and are afraid to release it. I have read some. And not nice.
