the revenue issue was the biggest part in getting this done-the state was losing money to MA as CT residents simply headed over the border. I don't partake, but I support the legalization of weed for this and many other reasons....
Same in CT-lower than last summer- about 30-40 cases a day and positivity rate of .3 or something like that. Hospitalizations are down to 50 or so-on par with last summer. I'd be we get close to 0 cases a day come July/August with vaccinations slowly creeping up as well.
Media has tried to keep the fear going as long as possible. If the 2 shot vax is 88% effective against this variant where's the story? That's right, there is none.
This was way worse. I've never been at a ticket counter for 3 hrs or on a phone line for 3 hrs with anyone and most of the above can be done online now.
