One of things that has been most politically frustrating about the pandemic (aside from everything) is that the President and the Vice President (ours, not the former guys) were highly responsible and wore masks. We never begrudged them doing the right thing — in fact, we applauded it. But both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have wonderful smiles, and we missed them.
Well, miss them no more. Today, among the vaccinated, the masks came off at the White House. Hooray! We just hope that people are smart enough to understand when they still need to wear them. "The relaxation of masking does not apply to airplanes, buses, trains and other public transportation, to healthcare settings, or where state or local restrictions still require them," said the head of the CDC.
So here in New York State, with about 41 percent of the population vaccinated, wearing a mask will still be a thing. We'll be keeping them in every jacket pocket and in our cars for, probably, months to come. And when flu season rolls around, they'll come popping out again. They're just really effective.
America owes a debt POTUS and VPOTUS for their leadership on this. It sure beats chugging down bleach and shining flashlights up your ass, doesn't it? We cats PURR.
