We fought the COVID and the COVID won

Note that Biden won Colorado by 14 points:
People in Boulder County will no longer be required to wear masks in public spaces starting Friday.
The Boulder County Board of Health voted unanimously Monday night to rescind the public health orders requiring masks in public indoor spaces and in schools, early childhood education facilities and youth programs.
Both mandates will end at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18.
Schools and private businesses will still be able to implement their own mask policies. After Monday night’s vote, the Boulder Valley School District said on Twitter that they will provide additional information to families and staff Tuesday.
The county’s policy required masks in public indoor spaces “during periods of Substantial or High Transmission as displayed on the Boulder County Public Health Status Page.”
Boulder County is the only metro county with a mask mandate still in place. Douglas County does not have a countywide mask mandate, and the mandates for Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Jefferson and Larimer counties ended earlier this month.
The Denver Department of Public Health and Environment still requires masks in schools and childcare facilities, but that order is set to expire Feb. 25.
The national seven-day average of cases is 162,000, i.e., right about what it was at the peak of the Delta wave in September, although down 80% from the peak of this wave two weeks ago. Omicron has proven to be significantly less fatal per case, but we’re still at 2,200 deaths per day (Seven day moving average. Death totals lag case totals by about two weeks).
At this point, given the literally toxic politics surrounding this issue, I don’t even know if mask mandates continue to make sense.
But it’s amazing how in less than two years 4.5 daily Epstein Units has become a non-story that isn’t even worth pretending to care about beyond running PSAs begging people to get vaccinated (We have a lot of those in between the sports book and ED ads).
