Social Distancing stopped being federal policy April 30

Did you know that the President's order mandating social distancing of six feet has expired, as of April 30th.   He did not renew the order.   The next moves are up to governors as is fitting in a federation.

As I recall, the distancing stuff started in my neighborhood before rules were declared. It arrived at first by bits and pieces, a shopkeeper here, a citizen there.   Then politicians found cover at the front of the safest parade.  Once there, the sceptre is raised, the fasces shaken but this isn't leadership.   "Safe" is soon going to be on the other side of the ledger.  Queue up hypocrisy but welcome it too.  "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue".
