Our Tax Dollars at Work

This is how the pigs who run our government use the money that we give them.  When caught, not one of them will accept responsibility.  Swine through and through, they shred their "mistakes" and then demand more money.  At least a dozen people should be fired over this, but, more likely, they'll get a raise.  Oink, oink for the USA!

Fully vaccinated? No face mask required, CDC guidance says

From Racine County Eye:

But don't toss out those masks just yet. Local state health officials still have the final say on whether or not to implement those guidelines.

Belinda Thielen | Racine | They wear their masks to protect the community and reserve respirators for health care workers. They wear them for all of us.

Officials with the Center for Disease Control revised their recommendation around mask wearing Thursday saying that if you’ve been fully vaccinated, you are protected from COVID-19.

The announcement represents a shift from two weeks ago when CDC guidelines exempted people who had been fully vaccinated from not having to wear masks unless in the case of mass gatherings.

But don’t toss out those masks yet. The decision to implement the CDC recommendations would still need to be made at the local and county level.

The guidelines also contain exemptions for federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance that are in place.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said the recommendation changed because the number of COVID-19 cases around the country have dropped over the past two weeks by one-third. She also pointed to increasing availability of vaccines and the loosening up of restrictions of who can get the vaccine.

“I would encourage counties and localities to look at how much vaccine they have, how many people have been vaccinated,” she said “Look at how many cases are in their area and to make those decisions with that information in mind.”

“So the science demonstrates that if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected,” Walensky said.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum ordered a statewide mask mandate and imposed several business restrictions late Friday in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus that has stressed the state’s hospital capacity.

The Republican governor’s executive order comes after increased pressure from doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to require face coverings. The directive goes into effect Saturday and will last until Dec. 13.

Burgum said in a statement that doctors and nurses “need our help, and they need it now.”

The mandate requires residents to wear face coverings in indoor businesses and indoor public settings, as well as outdoor public settings where physical distancing isn’t possible.
