Outside Is Open Again, No Masks Required (if you have had your shots)

The CDC has decided apparentlty that the way to get people to get their shots is to announce that people who have been vaccinated are free to do a lot more than people who haven't had them. According to the LA Times, they no longer need masks to have extended outdoor family reunions or eat outside. With a mask they can go to crowded concerts, sporting events, watch movies in a real theater, take exercise classes and eat and drink indoors. Non-vaccinated people, says the CDC, shouldn't do any of those things. According to a UCSF epidemiologist it is 5000 times safer to do things outdoors than inside. In other news, according to the CDC, our current vaccines seem to be effective against the UK Variant, the one most common here.
