Alabama is on the other side of the Delta variant surge of the coronavirus.
That’s not me saying it — it’s science.
The surge has ended in Alabama. Cases are lower than when the surge started. Hospitalizations are rapidly falling, too, as 942 were in the hospital as of Sunday, October 10, and only 690 as of yesterday.
Elsewhere? Well, we still have some issues.
The seasonality of this disease is going to be hard to ignore. This map tells the tale to a large degree. The South has passed its surge, but the North is seeing heavier and heavier case counts. pic.twitter.com/pRHdwhdgbm

SEC! SEC! SEC! Sorry, Dr. Anthony Fauci!
You will also see that the media has dropped their coronavirus counters again, and they have stopped talking about Florida, Texas and Alabama.
Remember, nothing changed. No one collapsed and enacted harmful lockdowns or useless mask orders that even their proponents won’t follow.
Proponent San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) was maskless in the club, and then she expanded her order further.
Democrat Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe will wear a mask outside to avoid questions, but will not wear on an AMTRAK even though the rules require it.

Terry McAuliffe, who supports mask mandates in Virginia, caught on Amtrak and in NYC train station without a mask. COVID can't spread on fundraising trips?

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) was seen at a WNBA game as the only person in the stadium without a mask, violating her own order.
What a moment.
Congrats champs! 🎉

The shocking part here isn’t that the WNBA was playing its finals and people actually showed up, but it is amazing she let this photo be taken.
Even President Joe Biden and the greatest medical doctor the nation has ever seen, Dr. Jill Biden, were seen maskless in Washington, D.C.

Note the staff and Secret Service agents that are masked up.
Should we mock Biden? Of course. We all know the idea that putting a mask on from the door to your table and then taking it off to eat before putting it on before you leave again is silly, but this guy wore a mask on a Zoom call.
Embarrassing.
Look at all these heroes who are trying to sell all of this silliness to us while ignoring it themselves.
These are the people insisting that anyone who has had enough of ineffective mask mandates is a villain while they ignore their rules, and then the media ignores them ignoring their rules.
These people, all government employees, didn’t have to worry about a single paycheck being missed during the pandemic in the same way they don’t have to worry about the people they are pushing out of the workplace now with their vaccine mandates.
This will be the story of this pandemic.
