ROK Drop New Year’s Eve 2021 Open Thread

It is interesting to see how the liberal media reactions to COVID are shifting when their preferred President can’t get the pandemic under control like he campaigned he would do. So instead they are increasingly taking up the viewpoint to learn to live with COVID such as keeping schools open:

“The definition of cases is changing,” Stelter said. “With a highly transmissible variant, there are many, many, many cases … With this inevitability about more and more and more cases, what’s the better metric to be using? How should we be evaluating the fight against COVID?

“Since we’re hearing about schools closing again, we collectively took action to protect the elderly in 2020. Now, shouldn’t we be doing more to protect children by letting them live normal lives? Are we really going to let the kids suffer even more?” {Fox News}

The media is also saying we need to learn to live with COVID like we do the flu:

“The risk went from something that we hadn’t really dealt with specifically like this before in our lifetimes – we hadn’t quite had an illness this infectious and this possible to cause serious illness – to something that does look more like the flu. The flu of course can still be dangerous … but we don’t orient our lives around the flu. So that’s closer to the level of risk that 200 million Americans … are now dealing with,” he said. The “sheer exhaustion” for Americans had altered the “politics of the pandemic,” he added.
