CDC relaxes Covid mask guidelines just in time for Biden declaration of victory at State of the Union

On Feb. 25, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced their plan to ease Covid mask guidelines nationally.

Now, as states and localities are embracing the CDC's new guidelines, the shift will likely also serve as a political precursor event for President Joe Biden to declare victory over Covid in his first State of the Union address on March 1.

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the new guidelines in a CDC Media Telebriefing on Feb. 25 "Will depend on the COVID 19 level in the community directing our prevention efforts towards protecting people at high risk for severe illness and preventing hospitals and healthcare systems from being overwhelmed." CDC has a widget on their website where Americans can check to see what their Covid community level currently is.

If a county as blue as Fairfax is ready to treat Covid as endemic, rather than pandemic, then clearly it is time for the entire country to do the same.

Roughly two weeks ago, and prior to the CDC's announcement, Democratic governors across America made a show of lifting Covid mask requirements.

A January poll from Monmouth University that found 70 percent agreed with the statement, "It's time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives."

All of which sets to the stage for President Bident Biden to highlight the decline of Covid in his State of the Union.
