Summary

More states lift their mask mandates as the CDC warns about the next crucial two months. "Burn the Mask" rallies are being held in Idaho, as kids are encouraged to participate in burning masks. Idaho's governor says that masks are "not helpful" and a local lawmaker says that the rally will "be pretty fun." The United States is still averaging about 60,000 daily covid cases daily. Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the national daily average needs to get below 10,000. A new CDC guidance offers some new freedoms as it says that fully vaccinated people can gather without masks, but should still avoid traveling. President Joe Biden is on the brink of a major legislative victory with the possible passing of his historic $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, with no Republican support despite the bills popularity. While the Republicans are rejecting the covid relief bill, they are obsessed with Dr. Seuss. A congressman puts his job on the line to try to reclaim the GOP from former President Donald Trump. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, are praised in the United States and slammed in the United Kingdom over recent Oprah interview. The Royal Family is in crisis after the couple allege racism on television during interview.
