CDC says no more masks needed for the vaccinated

[Rainman]

I guess I'm one of the few that enjoy wearing the mask.
It's great to hide behind. Don't need to shave, don't care if I look like a homeless person, don't need to worry about anyone recognizing me. It's the next best thing to being "The Invisible Man."

Thanks, Masks!

What percentage of the unvaccinated will go maskless?

(asking for a friend)

[Copper]

Roughly 100

They will eventually self-vaccinate

LOL. To certain point I agree but it becomes uncomfortable for long periods of time.

The problem is that it's the "ear loop" masks. I never wore those at work, and as a matter of fact, they were not available. Everyone wore the "tie up" masks. Much more comfortable, and you could pull them up and down as the situation demanded. Even during a long, long case, I was never uncomfortable with one of these.

Even at 3 am, I was not uncomfortable...

I've got 'em, but they aren't as easy to constantly take off and put on, without looking like a refugee from the Woody Woodpecker School of Barbering.

I am NOT going to miss them. But I am grateful that 99.6% of folks here wore them in public. Midwestern folk are pretty sensible. Except the wackos who thought it was tyranny.

Have to point out that the same CDC director was talking about her sense of impending doom a month or two ago. Have seen her since looking like a deer in the headlights. I have no confidence in her utterances.

[Jolly]

The average person down here has been told so many things by the CDC during this pandemic that weren't entirely correct, that they have very little confidence in anything they now say...
