NY Times Likes Halting Migrant COVID Rules, Adjacent Story Warns COVID May ‘Swell Anew’

So is the COVID pandemic receding, or does it threaten to “swell anew”? Don’t ask the New York Times. It offered up both versions in twinned off-lead stories on Thursday’s front page, depending on which way the paper had to spin the danger to please the left.

Eileen Sullivan reported on the Biden administration loosening rules for allowing migrants to cross the southern border into the USA in “C.D.C. to Lift Order Restricting Immigration During the Pandemic.” She quoted Democrats — who have spent the last two years insisting on overzealous bureaucratic Covid restrictions — suddenly sounding like Republicans in declaring the pandemic over, at least in the name of letting in more migrants.

Sullivan merely nodded along approvingly in Biden’s move to repeal the public health order, Title 42, which Sullivan explained, “gives border officials the authority to quickly expel migrants, including those seeking asylum….”

Recent pressure from Democratic lawmakers to lift the order is also growing Experts in public health Many people have stated that migration does not pose any serious risk of transmission, even at this time in the pandemic..

In the United States, the number of cases involving covid has dropped sharply. The C.D.C. There are many restrictions that have been relaxed by the C.D.C. In the next few months, another spike could be caused by an Omicron subvariant called BA.2.However, it is not known to cause any more serious illness. Vaccines are still effective in protecting against these worst-case scenarios.

The story next to it was one with a completely different approach. While it’s now alright to dismiss COVID dangers at the border, we can’t close testing and vaccine sites for fear the pandemic may “swell anew.”

Under the headline “States Close Mass Test and Vaccine Sites, but Virus May Swell Anew,” Julie Bosman and Sophie Kasakove wrote:

As the virus continues to spread in America, the pace of local and state efforts is slowing down. In fact, cases have fallen in recent weeks.

But the cutbacks also arrive at a moment when a more transmissible version of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, known as BA.2, is spreading through Europe, Asia and is now the dominant version of new virus cases in the United States. New coronavirus cases are rising in New York and other states.

Americans still trail other countries when it comes to vaccination. Only about 65 percent of Americans have received initial shots, and less than one-third of Americans have had a first booster shot.

Officials from public health warned of a possible pandemic if another outbreak occurs. It could prove difficult for officials to increase vaccination and testing locations and any other preventative measures.

They warned against Americans moving on from the crisis, absolutely contradicting the adjacent report suggesting Omicron wasn’t much danger and the migrant flow could resume.

Health experts fear that Americans are moving on from the outbreak before the end of the epidemic and could not be prepared for another. Each day, more than 700 Americans die from this virus.
