I sense a trend.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is set to unveil his planned off-ramp from pandemic restrictions in Illinois on Wednesday as the omicron-driven COVID-19 surge continues to subside, sources said.
Pritzker said during an appearance in Springfield on Tuesday that people looking for some indication of when his mask mandate would end should stay tuned.
Were very close, he said, while declining to offer any specifics.
Pritzkers move would follow announcements from Democratic counterparts on both coasts on plans to roll back mask mandates in the coming weeks.

I wish we really knew what was going on down here in Florida. I don't believe a damn thing that comes out of the DeSatan administration.

but still based on the science. Majority Blue states are highly vaccinated and wear masks. Good for them, they actually care about their fellow Americans.

consistently, constantly from the start.

We cant save the unvaccinated from themselves forever, its time to move on with life.
Good on Governor Pritzker.
