      Discussions of Biden and lockdowns/re-opening politics should recall the specific gaffe he made about this in 2020. David Muir asked if he'd "shut it down" (it = "this country") if a second wave hit after re-openings, and Biden said "I'd shut it down." (1/2)pic.twitter.com/MCeJH4jLGT

      Re-opening and then having to shut down again is the least popular outcome - the French Laundry sealed the deal, but recall energy v Newsom started to build after people got used to looser restrictions (outdoor dining) and he shut them down again. (2/2)

          If you listen to Jen Psaki and Ron DeSantis, they start to rhyme: DeSantis's message is "we're not going back," schools are staying open, Psaki's is that the worst scenario is opening up then closing down again.

          There is zero chance Newsom actually gets removed from office.

          There’s going to be another shutdown, guaranteed. It’s because of people behavior and they’re doing it again. I was in the post office the other day, the man getting help next to me had his mask off his nose and I could see his mouth. In other words, he wasn’t really wearing it.

          The interesting thing about that is Newsom had been saying it was a possibility for months. He would talk about a "dimmer switch" that would be used in the near future. For an array of openings and re-closings. The people who were surprised hadn't been listening

          So @daveweigel experts like Laurie Garrett are worried about the massive wave that may happen when the variants take hold at the same time states/people are relaxing safety measures, and YOU'RE ginning THIS up???! It's no wonder Left AND Right r united in despising the media.
