“To abolish mask-wearing laws in some states while the rest of the nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool.”— Neil deGrasse Tyson
The trick is to actually follow the science (which is, I agree, a moving target as scientists gather and evaluate more data). The CDC is now saying that fully vaccinated people can start to meet under careful circumstances for instance. Alas, the actual behavior is far from that ideal, and in fact seems to me to be simply licensed Russian Roulette. The most astounding thing, to me, is the number of people who seem to think that’s perfectly okay.

Could it have anything to do with mask-wearing, hand-washing, and social distancing?
Is it an indication that those procedures lessen COVID-19 transmission?
