No more masks!

The CDC announced today that mask wearing is no longer necessary, indoors or out. Of course, anyone is free to continue wearing it if they want to, but anyone who has been vaccinated can consider themselves pretty well protected by now.

Thank you, Dr. Fauci! Best news in a long time! 😁

Are you not concerned about the new Indian Variant ?

It's my understanding that mask wearing mandates meant little to those in the USofA.

Those who approached the guidelines with respect, wore them, and those who lacked respect for themselves as well as other, didn't.

That, and the fact that States such as Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia, all bucked the system back in April and arbitrarily chose to lift any/all restrictions related to mask wearing, which relayed to me the complete and total anarchy that exists in your country.

LOL, You can be pretty sure it was political pressure and not Fauci that pushed this decision. Follow the trajectory of what Fauci's said and take a look at how the CDC changed testing cycle thresholds. In terms of power and influence, the odds are very high Fauci's history.

HAHA. People will credit anyone they admire for anything they like. And blame anyone they don't admire for anything they don't like. 😁

It will be interesting to see what develops out the continued investigation into U.S. connections with and alleged funding of Wuhan Lab's Cofid research. Finger pointing is picking up steam.
 
I see the announcement as being the first foot in the door, with the other on it's way.

Just can't wait to open everything up for business again and pretend all is back to normal, account a slump in Covid numbers being recorded for the past few weeks.

It appears comparisons between masking and non-masking states were becoming a major embarrassment to some circles. Apparently not in NY, through. I just read that Cuomo said NY isn't ready to follow the new federal guideline advice.

You bet. This comes from higher up and always has. America is supposed to be fully vaccinated by July 4. By allowing only the FULLY vaccinated to unmask, I think that's supposed to be the motivation. In reality, it's the beginning of the two tier society spoken about last year.

People who force others to restrict their breathing which creates well known negative health effects respect others?
I pretty much have the opposite viewpoint to yours.

This is one of the mandates which is STILL in force in California:
"Individuals over age 2 must wear a face covering when outside their homes unless one of the specified exceptions applies."

As far as I'm concerned, forcing children to wear a mask that not only restricts their breathing but also inhibits their development - including the development of their brains - is an atrocity and child abuse. I would never do that to a child, nor to anyone else.

Personally, I don't agree with any of the mandates. People should have the right to decide what is best for their personal health, and should not be restricted from doing the same things that people do who are following the extremely questionable and unhealthy mandates.

I don't feel the mandates are healthy at all, but are extremely dangerous - which is why I don't wear a mask.
 
I think we're still required to wear a mask in businesses so I'll wear mine doesn't bother me too much because I'm only in and out of there quickly. I haven't been wearing my mask inside the corridors of this apartment building ever since I got the vaccine and not outside since then.

I believe our vaccines protect from getting seriously sick from all variants at a very high percentage.

Are there provisions in place in your country for those who suffer from underlying health issues/conditions, etc, related to breathing?
 
Funny coincidence, I went to the optometrist also today. We both wore masks. Everyone in his office wore them. But an hour or so after coming home, I saw the happy news that those of us who had gotten the vaccine were now free of the masks.

Of course, people who are not vaccinated can probably take their masks off also, in crowded indoor spaces, if they are dumb and foolhardy enough to do it. But they are risking their own lives, and maybe the lives of their loved one. They are not supposed to take their masks off, except when outdoors, and even then, if in a big crowd, the mask should go back on.

I don't know anything about variants, so I can't answer that. But probably the vaccine works against it also, or they wouldn't be advising everyone who is vaccinated to take the mask off. This news is being gratefully celebrated by the millions who are safe from the disease.
 
The trouble is that there is a segment of our society that would love to wear masks for the next 100 plus years. They love to hide their faces, they love the social distancing and they love the constant washing of their hands. When I got into most stores I see there are thousands of masks being sold (Wally Mart) and tons of santizers. These people have found their religion and it's not Jesus. Today, I spend a day in a small town. Very few people wearing masks except in the mall. In the local city they are driving cars, sitting alone and wearing masks. It's sad to see that some people think that Covid is coming from their stereo systems. The Covid virus is spreading in the big cities; not the small town. As a life long country boy, I must say that this is definitely an urban problem. You want to live in an over populated urban city, then you should expect the pandemic consequences. There are just too many people in this world and these kind of pandemic will become more and more common as the years go by.

As far as I am concerned, if people want to wear face diapers and/or quarantine themselves, that's fine. Just don't expect me or other healthy people to do the same.

If people want to wear masks that's their choice but it alarms me when the rest of us are told plainly that we won't we get out of indoor mask wearing unless we're vaccinated. :oops: That is blatant discrimination against a huge segment of the population who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons or from having a bad reaction to their 1st dose. Two tier society coming our way. But that's what so many foresaw from the start. :mad:

Unless they enact formal vaccination registration, who's going to know?

I'll continue to use my own common sense when I'm out in public.

I'm afraid that with only 1/3 of Americans fully vaccinated we will see another surge in the infection rate as the anti-vaxxers stop wearing masks and attempt to blend in under this new CDC guideline.

Another surge? I suppose that's possible but how do you square that with states with no mask mandate doing as good as or better than states with a mandate?
 
From newswires this morning: Dr Anthony Fauci said Thursday children will still have to wear masks. That's what was from the Daily Mail.
Since children represent the healthiest segment of our population, that really doesn't make a lot of sense to me and I am happy to report that you don't see many children around here wearing masks on the playground.
