Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Tuesday he will update the state's guidance for people who fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to allow them to shed masks when taking part in outdoor activities, but masks will still be required in large groups outside.

“Here's welcome news from CDC: fully vaccinated people can enjoy most outdoor activities without a mask,” Pritzker said on Facebook as he shared a Washington Post report about the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said because of the increased number of COVID-19 vaccines, “the CDC made an important announcement: Starting today, if you’re fully vaccinated, and you’re outdoors, you need – and not in a big crowd – you no longer need to wear a mask.”

So ... you can ditch the mask IF: you're vaccinated, you're outside, with a SMALL group of people, "socially distancing". I've run out of epithets for these tin pots.

But they are ALLOWING us...

No one is listening to Governor Creosote anymore.

A CDC guideline is NOT promulgated law, therefore it should be ignored.

HIV+ people can enjoy random hookups without disclosing their STD status.

CDC said that people with active covid cases could go vote at the polls on election day.

This never was about a virus.

I wonder what JV’s cousin Jennifer thinks of all this.

Pritzker, like most Democrats, is a moronic tyrant.

There is no longer any excuse for continuing this charade. People should just ignore the idiot and do as Tennessee has done.

The Nazis will make you carry your vax card. So the cops can randomly stop non-mask wearers and say,

“Paperz, Pleeze!”

There are two America’s. One is inside big cities (masked) and one is outside big cities (unmasked.) I saw a sign on the entrance door of a small town grocery: “If you are sick, please don’t come inside. We will bring your groceries to you.” Nothing about masks and employees were maskless.
