New science has again prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update its mask guidelines. The CDC recommended on Tuesday that fully vaccinated people wear masks in public indoor settings "in areas with substantial and high transmission." That includes a large swath of the US right now, including the vast majority of counties in the South.
The CDC recommended that all teachers, staff, students, and visitors at K-12 schools mask up as well.
The goal of these new guidelines, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said, is to "help prevent the spread of the Delta variant and protect others."
The CDC said in May that vaccinated people don't need masks, a recommendation based partly on data indicating that vaccinated people were less likely to transmit the virus to others. But the Delta variant — now the dominant strain in the US — behaves differently than previous versions of the virus, Walensky said.

Fooled me once, shame on you. They won’t fool me again.
Masks are USELESS, USELESS, USELESS!!!!! The virus is smaller than the pores on the fabric used in the masks, and the masks are FAR from air-tight. There is NO prevention - ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH - of the transmission of Covid (or most other viruses or bacteria, for that matter) by someone sick who is wearing a mask, or by a non-infected person wearing a mask.
BS.
BS.
BS.
BS.
I will not comply. Anyone who doesn’t let me in their store or restaurant without a mask loses my business. F’em!
Ok, but are people dying from Delta? What are the numbers. Just because you have it doesn’t mean you are going to go to the hospital and die. Things are getting out of hand with all of this crap.
it really isn’t.
you probably are operating under several flawed assumptions.
the people pushing this do not want to actually help you
follow the money
the shots are experimental and are not nearly as safe as those people claim they are
many at the top pushing these and getting media airtime are population control and reductionist folks
Trump should have gone ahead and fired Fauci. He probably knew they were going to pull something like they did to keep him out. He should have gone scorched- earth.
There does seem to be a sense of franticness (?) around this. It’s out of control.
And...re Masks....masks make people sick...IMHO
the people that are frantic are the ones that got the experimental shots...
they shouldn’t have any worries about catching the virus from the anti-experimentals...
56% of Americans are vaccinated. And the majority of new COVID infections and hospitalizations are in vaccinated people. But it's rare.
Was your nurse cute? Did you kiss? Did you get her phone number?
But in almost every country, the hospitalization rate of vaccinated people is the same as the rate of people vaccinated.
Because all the cool kids are getting vaxxed.
Your shot is worthless. Quite a few vaxxed are in the hospital right now. 45,000 died from the shot. I consider us who didn’t fall for the bull the smart ones. You on the other hand...
You can be cool and very dead at the same time.

You are so mislead if you believe 45,000 have died from the vaccines.
So, I am supposed to wear a mask because someone else is too lazy/stupid to get a free vaccination.

The stupidity may be in doing everything the government tells you to do, while they keep moving the goal post.
It seems to me that the purpose of renewed mask mandates is to apply more pressure on the unvaccinated to get the jab. They’ve tried everything else including bribes, and the vaccination rate hasn’t budged much. So now, they reinstitute the mask “guidance” and imply that this is necessary because so many remain unvaccinated. It’s illogical, but not many take the time to think it through. Instead, they blame their unvaccinated neighbor for their “having” to wear a mask again. Bribes failed. Let’s try peer pressure.
I think you’re right about that.
Is the CDC admitting that asymptomatics were infective after all?
Last year, uninfected and Asymptomatics wanted unvaccinated old people to stay home (or wear a mask).
This year uninfected and asymptomatics want vaccinated old people to stay home (or wear a mask).
Sounds like persecution of old people to me
I think considerably less people than stated have gotten the vax. I believe the total number the government is using is doses paid for. the US has bought millions and millions of doses, many of which are going unused.
I am not aware of any test differentiating delta v non delta. After decades of lab testing, tell me how you are identifying this. Hoax. What lab is sending samples for variant identification?
