    Imagine losing your business that you spent your entire life building because some politician didnt like Trump.

    I guess your averge democrat wouldnt care, because according to their leader, small business owners didnt build their businesses, someone else made it happen.

    California and other large states are loosening COVID-19 restrictions just as scientists warn that more-contagious variants of the virus are beginning to take hold in the U.S. and the vaccine rollout struggles.

    With a two-month spike in cases beginning to subside, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is lifting the state’s stay-at-home order. New York, Illinois, Michigan and Massachusetts also are easing restrictions.

    The shift comes as new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are declining. Still, the new variants — including one in the U.K., another in California and a Brazilian one first identified in the U.S. on Monday in Minnesota — are setting off alarms, and may be more transmissible.

    “We’re just asking to go backwards by easing restrictions without focusing on achieving herd immunity with vaccination,” said Sadiya Khan, an epidemiologist at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “It’s very fragile.”
