We’ll keep ours handy and will use them frequently if for no other reason than out of respect for those who still must. But we are ALSO rejoicing that we can have dinner with our fully vaccinated grown children without masks, and that we can hug them. Small steps, but each step appreciated.
The guidance is that masks are NOT required for people who have been FULLY IMMUNIZED.
There are people out there who still refuse to get immunized and will not wear a mask. How are we to tell? The answer is, it doesn’t really matter, except for putting a strain on the hospital system.
The vaccine is the great equalizer. THEY are the ones who will are likely to sick and possibly die, not me. Unfortunately, most of them have already reproduced, so the stupid gene is still backstroking in the pool.
Oh, they may still possibly infect me, but the odds are it is extremely unlikely that I would require medical care other than quarantine and bedrest.
I’m still wearing a mask when I walk by Tucker Carlson’s house just because I know how much it would OFFEND him. I was going to use the word, “annoy,” but with a “Tucker” (the male equivalent of a “Karen”), it’s an obsession.
This is a lovely sentiment, though ruined by the knowledge that those who have REFUSED to be vaccinated will also be taking off their masks as they know NO ONE is going to call them on it.
‘The times may have changed, but the sentiment lingers on.’
Congratulations to all who have persevered through the hard times to get their degrees. You have met and won over challenges that were faced by no other classes in history.
And, as always, prayers for the fallen, their loved ones, and their carers.

CDC guidelines say fully vaccinated people must still wear a mask in health care settings, transportation hubs such as airports and stations, and public transportation. That includes planes, buses and trains traveling into, within or outside of the U.S. as part of a federal mask mandate that was extended to Sept. 13.
The agency also said fully vaccinated people must wear a mask or socially distance in places required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
It means fully vaccinated people may still need to wear a mask depending on where they live and where they go. Some business owners may follow CDC guidelines, but others may be more reluctant to lift their own rules on masking.
In general, people are considered fully vaccinated: ±
2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
If you don’t meet these requirements, regardless of your age, you are NOT fully vaccinated. Keep taking all precautions until you are fully vaccinated.
If you’ve been fully vaccinated:
You can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.
You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
If you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19, you do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms.
However, if you live or work in a correctional or detention facility or a homeless shelter and are around someone who has COVID-19, you should still get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.

Nice. I’ll be wearing mine anyway, but less.
PS: Please do NOT just leave them lying there. Pick ’em up and dispose properly!

And yes, we’ll still be alert for variants.

Sorry, but even fully vaccinated, I’m not ready to give up my mask, especially with all the people who are refusing to get vaccinated.
