CDC issuing new mask guidance for fully vaccinated

New guidance released by the CDC on May 13, 2021 (CDC)

It’s huge news, especially for vaccinated people who wear glasses.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to announce that people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer need to wear masks or physically distance, indoors or outdoors in most circumstances. That’s according to sources familiar with the recommendations.

The new guidance will still call for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters, but could ease restrictions for reopening workplaces and schools.

The guidance also no longer recommends that fully vaccinated people should have to wear masks outdoors in crowds.

“people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer need to wear masks or physically distance”

How can you tell a fully vaccinated person from someone who hasn’t gotten vaccinated? I know there can’t be ID cards you have to show because people of color cannot get ID’s so that would be a racist requirement. I guess we are going with the “honesty policy?”

They will make unvaccinated people sew a big scarlet C on their shirts, or maybe a yellow star of COVID…
