Could reporters stop both-siding COVID and focus on why political leaders are failing us? Politicians aren’t reinstating mandates because masks remind us we are in a pandemic, and they are afraid that people will consume less if they see more people wearing masks. They are prioritizing corporate profits over public health.

But it's not ever true!
Who shall consume anything when they are sick? Who shall produce, transport, and sell the products? There are staff shortages everywhere. What the beep they are thinking where it ends?!

@JP30567 Exactly, it's very short sighted. Unfortunately, the way economics works is that there are numbers that they can use to claim the economy is strong now, while ignoring the disastrous long term effects of mass death and chronic illness.

@luckytran They will notice soon, but I'm afraid they will blame the lockdowns and masks and maybe even the vaccinations. 😕
