TeresaMc Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Without surprise to anyone I see the PHE was renewed for another 90 days effective this past Monday 10/18/21.   Is this ever going to end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said all along that it is too much fun for the people who normally work in the background to be thrust in to the limelight. They won't relinquish their new found power until forced to do so.

Can’t say I’m shocked. Irritated, annoyed, disappointed - yes.  Shocked - no. Life has largely returned to normal in New Hampshire.  Some masks here and there, but that’s it.

DunkelBierJay Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 PHE...use of the word "Health" in the acronym is difficult to accept because the bureaucrats don't take the number of concussions into consideration with the collective knocking of heads against walls....

Ampurp85 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yeah not shocking people on this board per se but people are really shocked on FB. Lots are saying if PHE is extended then CSO will be and their Jan+ cruises will still have testing, mask, etc. I saw lots were excited because vax for 5-11 might get approved after Nov 3rd, so they thought things would snap back to normal.

bryresangel Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Does anyone know why there is still a PHE? As more and more people are getting vaccinated, the risk of severe symptoms is declining (at least from what I have read). If people are getting COVID, but aren't getting as sick, aren't we moving more into the "treat it like the flu" phase?

Money allocations and certain other things can only be done under an "emergency" declaration, otherwise too much red tape. Leaving their options open in case they need it - easier to extend an existing one that institute a new one, most likely. jticarruthers, WAAAYTOOO, Snotarni and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I expect the public health emergency to be extended at least through 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then NH is in a bubble. 4 people that worked for my company have died from COVID in the past month. There was a moment of silence for them at the board meeting today.

MrMarc Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Or maybe because there is still an emergency going on as defined by actual experts, even if the internet experts disagree. Just because you haven't felt the effects of it, millions of others have, and still are. It's not like Yurtle the Turtle, you don't have to see it yourself for it to be real. I also wonder if anyone who thinks this is wrong has considered that they are not seeing the cases because of the precautions that are in place, in other words maybe it is working, and we should not stop it yet.

Yup, I see cases plummet in FL with no State issued mask mandates and vaccine mandates! Tell us who the Actual Experts are? I would really like to know....

Are these the Public Health experts that deny natural immunity and still mandate vaccines for those who have already had Covid? Jill, WAAAYTOOO, Jkaczano and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
