You can't make this up.

There's many things you can do to restore the economy. Dialing back the protective measures against an evolving and wide spread virus prematurely is NOT the right move.

Both states will end up rescinding the removable of the mask mandates down the road when the infection rates spike up again.

Such move will only add to the public's confusion. We went through this whole exercise multiple times last year, the result was a complete failure to contain the virus.

You can do the hammer and dance strategy by loosening the mandates little by little, and watch carefully whether the infection rates are affected, then adjust the mandate accordingly.

You don't remove the executive order all at once, completely and hope the vaccine brings herd immunity to your entire state.

Very irresponsible move from the governors of these 2 states imo.

Masks save lives. That's been established. Wear it for a few more months even if the rates have been lowered.

Better safe than sorry.
