New Poll: 70% Say It's Time to Accept COVID Is Here to Stay and Move On With Our Lives

A newly released Monmouth University Poll reveals that 70% of Americans agree it's time to accept that COVID is here to stay and move on with our lives.

Interestingly, of the 70% who agree it's time to move on, 78% "Report having gotten COVID and 65% of those who say they have not been infected." It seems even those who have yet to get the virus are saying enough is enough.

"Americans' worries about COVID haven't gone away," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

"It seems more to be a realization that we are not going to get this virus under control in a way that we thought was possible just last year." Of course, they haven't gone away because Biden and his Democratic minions push COVID fear 24/7. The poll finds a majority of Americans continue to support some preventative measures, such as face masks and social distancing, though they don't support others, such as workplace vaccine mandates.

"A key factor in the public's inclination to accept having to live with COVID is the intransigence of a sizable segment of the population on vaccination. It seems unlikely that herd immunity could ever be achieved through preventative measures," said Murray.

Half the public is either very or somewhat concerned about getting a new COVID variant.

Overall it's certainly encouraging that more Americans are coming to realize COVID is here to stay.
