"SNIP.....

A new Axios-Ipsos poll released Tuesday shows a growing awareness of high-risk coronavirus activities among Republicans, particularly when it comes to indoor activities. 

According to the latest Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index, 52 percent of Republicans say that in-person gatherings are risky, up from 40 percent in late October. In addition, 45 percent of Republicans say that indoor dining is risky, up 8 percentage points. 

The poll comes as the U.S. experiences a resurgence in coronavirus cases ahead of the winter months. Experts have long warned of a surge this fall and winter as the colder weather forces people to spend more time indoors. 

Eighty-seven percent of Democrats said that in-person gatherings were high-risk, a small jump from the 83 percent who said that in the last survey. Overall, 39 percent of Americans say that attending indoor gatherings of family and friends would be high-risk.

5. The 39% is indoor gatherings with family and friends. The other two

are in person gatherings. Maybe in person gatherings would be like church or something.

8. In the words of the Great Mark Shields:

“A conservative is someone who agrees with liberal policy 20 years after it becomes law.”

Here, we have to give the conservatives credit. They’re catching on much more quickly than they usually do.

11. This is why Dump is a murderer

I believe these people are coming around as a result of the election and no longer feel the need to follow the lead of that murdering POS. The Bully Pulpit has a real impact.

12. Plus Covid is hitting rural areas. So it is not just black and brown and liberal

people in cities who are being hurt or killed.
