New York Removes Mask Mandate On Subway – Is South Carolina and Florida the Loser in This News?

Sorry but I can’t help but poke some fun at New Yorkers…I had no idea that those people were still under the illusion that “masks work” and that they were still required to wear them while on public transit – good grief. It’s September 2022. Apparently Governor Hochul, the replacement for the disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo who stepped down earlier this year due to his scandals, made the decree today that masks would no longer be required. I’m sure this came after studying the science and all the studies about public health and Covid… yeah, right :).

People in the north have asked me many times…is it really that different in South Carolina from life in Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania….name whatever blue state you want – and yes, it’s different. And it’s been different for a long time. The people here in South Carolina are generally free. Would I like to see further elimination of some of the nonsense? Sure. But it’s magnitudes better than what you’ll find in a state like Minnesota for example.

With New York dropping their mask mandate, can we officially say that the Covid crazy policies are dying on the vine? One could hope…but then again, there’s always California.

But on second thought…we are only 2 months away from the 2022 mid-term elections. Perhaps THAT’s the science behind dropping the mask mandate on mass transit in New York?
