Cute. Not accurate, but cute. Didja see the First Lady at her first event after the CDC made the announcement? She pulled out a mask and waved it around, and said, “… and I just stopped and got one to match my outfit!” … and put it back in her (pocket). Clever. Pleasant. SO nice by contrast…
Did you hear the latest from FauxNoise?? Now their “talking heads” are complaining about the newest CDC announcement!! They are “questioning” the science behind the new announcement!!
It ain’t totally over yet folks. Just look at India and a few other places. Keep the masks on unless you are certain the folks around got their shots (both shots and the 2nd shot at least 2 weeks ago). In public and close contact, still wear ‘em – remember that the same a**hats who wouldn’t wear’ em before likely didn’t get their shots. We don’t need to start this over again. Just be cautious and trust only those you know you can trust. This’ll be under control a lot sooner that way. We’re close, so don’t screw it up. Doubt it? All right, if the rates don’t spike in 2 or 3 weeks, I’ll apologize and no harm done. That’s not such a big deal, right? And wayyy better than going through this for another year or more. Just go slow and please respect each other, but let’s not assume the same ol’ Bozo’s can be reasonable and trustworthy just yet, OK?
Since I was never much of a “people person” (I used to be, but some people cured me of that), I think I’ll still mask up (when indoors) among people I don’t really know. However, my wearing a mask seemed to annoy some people when it was required. Doing so now will probably make their heads explode with no further effort on my part. So for me, that’s a win-win situation.
I wore my mask (and my husband wore his also) religiously. And we will continue to some extent. It was a pleasure to have no flu nor cold nor sinus infection for the entire winter.
The front line people are the ones that are going to be negatively affected again. This time, there won’t be anyone calling them heroes, they will be called Nazis or similar. There are several reasons that people aren’t jumping at the chance to take the part-time minimum wage jobs without benefits that require flexible hours and an additional one is having to deal with anti-vaxxer anti-maskers.
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.

I came to like the mask wearing, no need to wash your face, comb your hair and brush your teeth.

Won’t suffer that much myself, given I spend 95% of my time indoors anyway. (Probably higher)
