WASHINGTON (AP/KDKA) — Pennsylvania is adopting the CDC’s newly relaxed mask-wearing guidelines, meaning fully vaccinated people don’t have to wear masks in most places.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health says masks are still required for people who aren’t vaccinated until 70 percent of Pennsylvanian adults are vaccinated.

In a striking move to send the country back toward pre-pandemic life, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday moved to ease indoor mask-wearing guidance for fully vaccinated people, allowing them to safely stop wearing masks inside in most places.

I knew Wolf was joshing us.

Governor Tom Wolf Retweeted

.@pahealthsec announced that the commonwealth's mask order reflects announcement made by @CDCgov. On March 16, SOH amended PA’s mask order by adding language directing to CDC’s guidance for fully vaccinated people allow for no face coverings.— PA Department of Health (@PAHealthDept) May 13, 2021

That means that today’s CDC guidelines automatically go into effect in PA. Masking requirement will still be in place for unvaccinated individuals until 70 percent of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated.

How about those who have recovered from Covid and have antibodies; some authorities are stating that such people may have stronger protection against the virus than that supposedly provided by the vaccine.

Don’t ask. Don’t tell.

[princess leah]

So they expect non vaccers to stand out it in a crowd? Next they will force non vaccers to wear a yellow star on their arm or tattoo a number?

[Sacajaweau]

They have been very quiet and insist that they should get vaccinated, too. How stupid is that. I guess they think God is stupid.

[Salvey]

Don’t ask. Don’t tell.

Yep.

[Uncle Miltie]

Your Papers?

[Col Frank Slade]

What a joke nobody knows who’s vaccinated and who isn’t.

[Uncle Miltie]

Maybe they’ll have spiffy armbands the non-vaxxed must wear when out of their houses.

You know, so others can easily know who the demons are on the street. Break their windows. Line them up for the trains.

No? Then no masks for anyone. Now.

If asked, I will follow the guidance of a very wise man...

"Yeah, sure, that's the ticket!"

ps: Masks are totally useless and a danger to one's health.

[Hojczyk]

If you had the virus you do not need a mask...

[JonPreston]

How much to haunt a house, Doc?

[ConservativeInPA]

I think I am finally going to start wearing as mask here in PA. I want to stand out.

[caww]

Wolf’s just following whatever Biden says...he’s not a leader he has to check in with the Dems to know what to do in our state.

[Col Frank Slade]

Waiting for Junior Lamont on CT to weigh in..

He usually plays follow the leader.

[Adder]

Precisely...prove I am not.

[BozoTexino]

I self-identify as full vaccinated. But I’m not. Shhhh.
