No one will be wearing masks in a few weeks, the science has changed, political science.
I would argue that the science has changed. Most people have either had the virus, recently estimated at 50% of US population per CDC, and/or have been vaccinated. Yes, the 65% vaccination rate is fairly pathetic for a wealthy nation. Oh well, it will do when so many others have actually caught the bug.
Case numbers are plummeting everywhere. Ige wants to play extra safe and see what happens in other states when mask mandates are lifted. How long for the wait and see, and what metrics will he possibly use as justification for dropping? Sorry, don't ask. Won't tell.
