Blue States, Cities Loosen COVID Restrictions Less Than One Week After Biden Inauguration
Blue States, Cities Loosen COVID Restrictions Less Than One Week After Biden Inauguration - The Political Insider
25 Jan 2021 ~~ By Rusty Weiss
A surprising number of mostly blue states and cities have announced a return to indoor dining and loosened other COVID restrictions less than one week after President Biden’s inauguration.
“Millions of jobs have been lost,” Biden lamented during his inaugural speech. “Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.”
Some of the hardest-hit have been restaurants and bars, with restrictions or flat-out lockdowns being imposed.
Many have been put out of business, never to return.
Blue States And Cities Suddenly Happy To Open Restaurants
Many businesses were the victims of draconian measures put in place by Democrat (and some Republican) politicians who justified their decisions by citing science and expert advice. But now, some of those same politicians are suddenly experiencing a change of heart.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo got the ball rolling just before Biden’s entrance to the White House.
Cuomo, who had micromanaged the pandemic response to extreme degrees – implementing curfews and even dictating what kinds of food were acceptable to eat when out at a bar – suddenly had an epiphany.
“We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo announced.
Other blue state politicians dutifully agree now.
Relaxing Restrictions
A slew of Democrat politicians have announced relaxing restrictions on restaurants and bars in the week since President Biden was inaugurated.
Has the ‘science’ suddenly changed? Is this simply a response to the vaccine created under the guidance of the Trump administration being distributed?
For Whitmer, she credited her shutdown as having worked: “The pause has worked. The efforts we have made together to protect our families, frontline workers and hospitals have dramatically reduced cases and we have saved lives.”
~Snip~
And while cases are on the decline of late, the New York Times reports that new strains of the coronavirus “could erase progress.”
California in particular has seen the emergence of a “home grown mutation” of COVID.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer the economy be opened back up to full capacity, but it was some Democrats and the media who insisted under President Trump that any suggestion of opening up businesses meant you wanted to kill seniors and children.
Comment:
Quelle Surprise!!
Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Leftists by hook and crook got what they wanted on January 20th. Now, they think they can ease their state economies back into high gear without any pushback. Poor idiots cannot fathom how two-faced they really do appear to be. Wait till they come to the full realization of how many businesses will not be reopening and listen for them to begin blaming all the shut-down on Trump.
Amid the second surge of the Wuhan Covid-19 virus in the states (Blue) heaviest hit, governors (Democrats all) have made the decision to begin to lift restrictions on the residents dwelling within.

Relaxing Restrictions
A slew of Democrat politicians have announced relaxing restrictions on restaurants and bars in the week since President Biden was inaugurated.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom surprised his state’s residents with an announcement just hours ago “allowing the reopening of outdoor dining, indoor salons.”
- Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s virus mitigation plan allowed indoor dining to resume over the weekend at limited capacity in Chicago and its Cook County suburbs.
- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who told residents to stay home during the holidays, also cheered the return of “limited indoor dining and more.”
- Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser lifted a ban on indoor dining on Friday, and is going as far as having a “Restaurant Week” promotion.
- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that Michigan is reopening indoor dining on the first of February.
- Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott announced that eateries would reopen for indoor and outdoor dining at a limited capacity last week.
For Whitmer, she credited her shutdown as having worked: “The pause has worked. The efforts we have made together to protect our families, frontline workers and hospitals have dramatically reduced cases and we have saved lives.”
