    I’m still quite a way from feeling like her, especially with all the un-vaccinated people running around without masks. So, I’ll remain masked and slightly paranoid for the time being.

    Odd how the GQPs aren’t calling Biden and the CDC and doctors and governors tyrants, now that the masking request is being lifted…

    A repost:

    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.

    (Conclusion)

    For now, if you’ve been fully vaccinated:

    You will still need to follow guidance at your workplace and local businesses.

    If you travel, you should still take steps to protect yourself and others. You will still be required to wear a mask on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States, and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations. Fully vaccinated international travelers arriving in the United States are still required to get tested within 3 days of their flight (or show documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months) and should still get tested 3-5 days after their trip.

    You should still watch out for symptoms of COVID-19, especially if you’ve been around someone who is sick. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested and stay home and away from others.

    People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken the immune system, should talk to their healthcare provider to discuss their activities. They may need to keep taking all precautions to prevent COVID-19.

    The whole thing depends upon the honesty of all to be careful, to have gotten both shots and waited at least two weeks, and to be sensible about mask wearing all along. The rates are gonna jump in two or three weeks. Not enough people are trustworthy, and at the very best almost all people are not trustworthy enough. I’d love to be wrong but nobody I know would take those odds.
