It may be wishful thinking but I believe that before the end of the year we should be putting this behind us. It all depends on if all the the selfish, misguided and unvaccinated people see the light and get their shots.

🤣🤣🤣. Not everyone is going to get vaccinated. You don’t know what’s in that or what health problems it can cause. I refuse to put that shit in my body.

It's a virus. It will be here, like the flu, for a long, long time. We must learn to live with it and above all, not to live in fear

True! Natural immunity is really the only option for this to all die down in my opinion.

Never, because the government will never give up their lust for control. It has nothing to do with the virus.

It’s already improved. People just need to open their eyes and see that and stop being scared little sheep.

Until the majority of people go along with the requirements to curb the infection, it will keep going. And the ones who do not help, are the ones crying the loudest.

COVID-19 is no longer a novel virus, which is most important to recognize. We understand the virus, we have vaccines, treatments, and most of us have some degree of immunity (t-cell response, if not antibodies). We are now in the 'must start living with it' phase. So, let it go, and let us live.

This will never end. As long as there I a pandemic, there will be emergency orders. Without emergency orders there can be no jab because it's experimental.

It will continue to make people sick and die because so many people refuse to get vaccinated and or ware a mask ley do not care about anyone but themselves.

Actually, many of us care far more about others than the ones that want to force kids to mask. There will very likely be far more ADDED youth suicide deaths than ALL COVID youth deaths because school is made miserable, no smiles, drop-outs, drugs, etc. Care about others? Let kids live w/o masks.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html
