Massachusetts (my hometown blue state, with an R gov) is probably not far behind the others re: letting these mandates lapse. Baker has been really solid on the pandemic since the start, and it's a shame he's not seeking a third term.
I'm pretty annoyed though that we're still talking about masking, fighting the last war instead of the next one. Closing schools was a disaster, everyone agrees with that, so how about these governors get ahead of the next outbreak of respiratory illness by putting in place plans and money for ventilation and filtration?
I mean, we killed flu season in 2020-21, and it looks like we'll do it again for 2021-22. I haven't had a bad cold in forever. It's great! Would be nice if we could keep at least some portion of that going forward, right?

Are we sure that closing schools before we had vaccines didn't prevent bigger disaster?
If I had to take a stand, I’d say closing schools was justified pre-vaccine given what we knew at the time. Counterfactuals are hard.
