Do a rightly here and I'm warming up from the NRIA.net studios in New York.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Monday, a new poll from the Hill Organization says that 40% of Americans, 40%, will continue

to wear face masks despite COVID declining all over the country.

Now, I don't believe the number is that high. I put the number at about 25% 1 in 4.

And here's the irony of it. We have a lot of people that don't want to catch COVID.

Who wants to catch COVID? Nobody. I wore the dopey mask. I didn't want to, but I did because I didn't

want to get it. But then I got vaxed. And then after I got vaxed, I didn't wear the mask so much.

And then New York State finally said, you don't have to wear the mask. But some people will,

because they're afraid. But here's the irony. On the other side, there are people afraid of getting

the vaccine. They think they're going to turn into zombies or their arm is going to fall off

because they know people have bad reactions and on and on and on and on. You know, you know the drill.

So on the opposite sides, we have fear and fear always drives irrational behavior.

One more thing. Sometimes it's good to be afraid. Okay. You don't want to put yourself in physical

danger. But when the overwhelming scientific data says there is no danger. Like swimming in the

ocean, a shark will not eat you. Then you swim in the ocean. Now this.

That is the morning or Riley update. More analysis later on.
