California Gov. Gavin Newsom, under threat of recall, is pushing for young students return to classrooms. Nevada, with 11 straight months of declining gambling revenue, wants to scrap most virus-related restrictions. Alabama, against one of the lowest covid-19 vaccination rates among U.S. states, is saying goodbye to masks next month.
Governors loosening coronavirus restrictions or, like Texas and Mississippi, lifting them entirely are counting on Johnson & Johnson s new vaccine to usher in a return to prepandemic life. Health experts say their surrender to tantalizing normality, amid a death toll of 520,000 and climbing, is courting a potential fourth U.S. surge.
