While some of you screamed for stiffer lockdowns, punishing those who did not get vaccinated, demanding health rights get stripped from those who "do not comply", others of you chose to apply the values of our great country: personal responsibility, following the Federalism principles that state each *State* governs itself, all while supporting those who chose to get vaccinated - or not. Well - the report card is now published.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Almost exactly two years ago COVID-19 spread to the United States. Following the federalism model, the 50 states and their governors and legislators made many of their own pandemic policy choices to mitigate the damage from the virus. States learned from one another over time about what policies worked most and least effectively in terms of containing the virus while minimizing the negative effects of lockdown strategies on businesses and children.
This study is an expanded and updated version of an October 2020 report card of how pandemic health, economy, and policy varied across the 50 states and the District of Columbia (Committee to Unleash Prosperity 2020). It examines three variables: health outcomes, economic performance throughout the pandemic, and impact on education."

"[COVID] is not going to be eradicated, and it's not going to be eliminated," Fauci said over the weekend. "And what's going to happen is that we're going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take." He added, "We're at that point where in many respects ... we're going to have to live with some degree of virus in the community."
Let's be crystal clear: This is where the entire nation should have been two years ago.
