Did I hear correctly on the evening news that Biden announced the CDC has said today that if vaccinated you no long have to wear a mask in public? Did I hear that right?

Yep....just heard it again on the evening BBC news. Biden announced that unless you are in a crowded environment if you are FULLY vaccinated you are no longer REQUIRED to wear a mask. Hmmmmmm

What is this "requiring" stuff? CDC has guidelines.

Basically if you're fully vaccinated you ONLY need to wear a mask if you're in a crowded environment...like a concert or something similar. Outside, shopping, resturants, etc., you don't need to and are not required to wear a mask.

I heard it was only if you were outside. ???

I might have heard wrong as the boys were asking questions from the backseat so I know I missed some bits.

I was never "required" to wear a mask to begin with. If I chose to visit someplace that is my business but by and large I never went anywhere that they could require me to do such.

Words mean something. The dems love to place around with the meanings of words.

Are you sure about that?

I understand what you're saying, but what "requirement" now exists that is tied to vaccination? That is, a law? Is the drooler rescinding an EO or something? And for places like my state of Texas, we've already gone our own way with this stuff, so by calling it a "requirement" is he trying to reestablish authority that has been previous denied?

It's like Kathy was saying, words matter.

Ok. I cannot understand why on Gods Green Earth anyone would need to wear a mask outside walking a dog ect. And if someone is vaccinated (our only hope according to the Gov) why does someone vaccinated have to wear any mask at all inside or out? They acting as if this virus is SO unusual from any other virus we cannot predict it’s spread or behavior.

Given what the vax zombies might be shedding, makes sense. They want us dead.
The vax contaigen scares me far more than Covid ever did.
Has anyone, anywhere heard of a disease where one had to wear a mask after getting a vaccine? If the vaccine works why is a mask even needed? I don't understand this new fuzzy science stuff. To me it's kind of like Common Core math. May sound good on paper but does it really work in practice?

What changed in the recommendation from the last time they announced this to this announcement except for how it was worded so he could be on TV showing how involved he is?

Reality is that it's the same thing worded differently.

I never wear a mask until I'm at the gym or in a grocery store.......otherwise they won't let me in.

Besides I'm never around anyone outside or at work........

the policy change is a nothing burger for someone who lives as isolated as I do..

I'm hoping this means Biden will rescind this stupid executive order:
On January 21, President Biden issued Executive Order (13998), titled Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel, requiring masks to be worn on all “public maritime vessels, including ferries” in order to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19.

I'm getting ready to go on vacation and would like to do a little deep sea fishing, but this order applies to fishing charters. I'm not going to wear a mask while fishing.

Exactly!

Here's the latest....
Health officials presented the new safety guidelines at Tuesday's White House coronavirus task force briefing.
"Small- and medium-sized gatherings for people who are outside and vaccinated can safely be done without a mask," said CDC director Dr Rochelle Walensky. This includes exercising or dining outdoors.

She said that determining whether to wear a mask in larger outdoor gatherings would depend on other concerns like how well-ventilated a venue is and how much space is left between people.

I'm wondering how the CDC can lift the mask mandate for vaccinated people with several states still having major issues and some going BACK into lock down. This is the craziest bunch of brain dead nonsense and lack of REAL scientific reasoning I've ever seen.

If you made this Covid crap we've been going through this last year into a TV show it would get dropped like a hot rock after the initial first showing because the story line is so lame brained. NOBODY would believe it. It's not reality, not drama, not even a bad comedy!

Did I hear him mention yesterday that next week he would tell us what we can do on July 4th?
Wow I can’t wait!!! Anticipation is killing me!! :rolleyes:

July 4th, Independence Day 2021, will be served up to us a reminder of how much they are in control. Just my opinion. But given what we've seen the last four months I can't imagine the newly empowered millions (shot-takers/maskers) and globalists are going to let anyone celebrate anything.

You just know that there will be a bunch of Karen’s running around asking you if you have had your vaccine if you have no mask on,

I heard Biden yesterday too.
I was kind of surprised that there were 20something states that still required masks.
Biden's little speech is nothing more than a suggestion.
States are the ones who make such regulations not the feds.
Seriously I had no idea there were still over 20 states that required masks almost everywhere.

Anyway, most states with any common sense haven't required people to wear masks when outside for quite a while.
Here in Florida the only places that do require masks are stores and businesses. Since it's their property they have every right to do so if they want.
However, even Fauci has been saying that masks are not needed outside or in well ventilated areas where you are not in close contact with a lot of people.

If you are going to be in a confined space with poor ventilation, with a lot of people for more than a short time you probably should wear a mask.
If you are going about your business running errands and stuff and not inside any stores or buildings, there is no point in wearing a mask.
It's common sense people. The extremes on both sides of this issue are idiots.
JMHO

There are always idiots on both sides of this issue.

There are those that want people to wear masks everywhere and those that want nobody to have to wear a mask ever.
Both sides are idiots. Common sense and intelligence says the right answer is in between these two extremes.
Use common sense.
