I have seen way less mask wearing since the first of the year in my area, even in Walmart I'm shocked by how many aren't wearing them and I was the only one wearing a mask this weekend at an auto parts store - even the three store workers weren't wearing masks!?!

I don't know, man, but that's definitely some hard core data. Awesome.

Show me some hard core data that since Biden took office that mask wearing has increased.

Florida shouldn't have a live person standing based on what I heard from MSM about all of the Super Bowl parties and celebrations attended by mask-less fools.

ok, one opinion on JJ - politics have to be completely out of the FDA's approval process. Once people start thinking the politicians are leaning on the scientists, you get another million ant-vaxxers. Justifiably.

I assume Biden is studiously staying away from the scientific review of the JJ vaccine for that reason, as he should.

Of course Biden should not lean on experts to make decisions. However, the approval process has taken some time. He should lean on the FDA to speed up the approval decision. The longer the wait, the more people are dying or being hospitalized. The data is already in.

School openings and vaccine rollout to name a couple. J&J vaccine approval has not been a priority as well.

Do you think the Biden administration has done a good job thus far on the pandemic?

But like I said, I don't have an opinion worth much on concrete admin actions, esp on schools. Which are generally a state/local thing anyway.

This was a criticism of the previous administration's response - they left too many decisions up to the local governments.

Yet, many states have done a great job vaccinating.

And STILL President of the United States of America JOE BIDEN ??

I have never seen a worse start to a Presidency!

ahmmmmmmmmm.....

"Spicer, Jan. 21: Secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall. … We know that from the platform where the President was sworn in, to 4th Street, it holds about 250,000 people. From 4th Street to the media tent is about another 220,000. And from the media tent to the Washington Monument, another 250,000 people. All of this space was full when the President took the Oath of Office. We know that 420,000 people used the D.C. Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama’s last inaugural. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe."

I was referring to actual policy, not how many showed up at an inauguration.

and it looks like the crowd did fill in a little more than what you posted -

This is the Biden thread. Take the silly Obama/Trump stuff elsewhere.

Biden's inauguration attendance was pathetic.

For those that need a link to one photo that isn't two hours before the 2017 inauguration.

It may not compare, but seems like a reasonable crowd especially considering the weather.

Based on what criteria?

Biden thread pulse check... day 33, page 39, 1.18 pages per day.

Found it on page 2 - again. Not looking good.

Looks like mostly that agip person keeping it going, besides my charity.

Hey, I just found this thread and am trying to understand what people see in him. I don't understand how in the world he received more votes than anyone else in history when he was non-existent leading up to the election and ran on terrible policies?!?!

The best and worst categories on the CDC website, meshing cases and deaths.

7 day averages

Got it...but that is silly science/guestimations.

It's easy to get a lot of votes if you don't have to prove they were cast legally.

Biden at 55.0% approval, ties for his highest yet.

Trump's highest was c.45.0

Yeah, man, how did this guy get elected when no one likes him and his policies are bad? I can't figure it out for the life of me. Makes no sense.
