CDPH ‘Reviewing’ New CDC Mask Guidance; Masking Still Required in California
While the state reviews the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new masking guidance, all of California’s COVID-19 safety measures, including masking, remain in effect.
The CDC yesterday released interim recommendations, stating that fully vaccinated individuals do not have to wear facial coverings in most settings. However, the CDC outlines several exceptions, such as state law, that supersede its guidance.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced late last night that the state “is reviewing the new CDC guidance on masking requirements.” CDPH and CalOSHA continue to require masks be worn in all indoor public places and crowded outdoor settings. Updates to masking guidance will be shared as they become available.

Muck Fasks!
Federal law supersedes state law.
not when numbers are this high. think state of emergency in humboldt county. it could happen
Doubt it.. hasn’t happened yet, been 14 months. According to your logic we should hide out and mask till we die. Nah this is silly at this point
Well, Then you wont be disappointed when it happens. Its not like cases are going down, and that actually determines Humboldts status. Cases going down. Masks are cool, by the way.
have a good day, R
Uh…the only two numbers that matter are infection rate (4.5% as of today) and mortality rate (.03% as of today).
Not really seeing what, “high,” numbers you’re talking about (THC levels in your blood, maybe?)
Only in areas where the Constitution gives power to the Feds. And only if the Federal laws impose equal or more responsibility where they share authority. Public health usually is a State authority.
“Interim recommendations”….ie we’ll minimize the impact of the CDC announcement while we review the political expediency of our governors need to keep up the panic vs doing the right thing.
Not at Costco or Walmart no need to mask nation wide.
What will anyone do if you don’t wear one? Catch and release?
They’ll catch these hands if they’re feeling froggy. This political science led bullshit needs to be done with. That is the only science they follow, manipulation and division. The hypocrisy of the left and the “vax cult” knows no bounds.
Ill send you some top ramen in County, and say a prayer for a man who went to jail over a stupid mask
Ah, ‘don’t forget, we can use violence against you for failing to obey’!
I’m ready to not wear a stupid mask – and to not have to worry about being viciously assaulted (and also obviously having my entire life disrupted or ruined completely) by my wonderful fellow citizens and ‘public servants’ 🙂
I have a plan, I won’t wear a mask but I’ll pack 7 pounds of heroin with me so they’ll have no choice but to let me go. Modern problem require modern solutions.
Well said mike.
India has pretty much solved thier over-population problem by dropping the mask requirement for thier big religious festival. However, Florida has dropped ALL Covid restictions and they have had few problems.
I am not a scientist, but I am good at guessing. I’ve read that ultraviolet light (I E sunlight) kills the virus in 15 seconds. A year ago I installed an ultra violet light in the air-handler at the store. I’m still alive, so it must work.
The thing that I think might kill me is all of the political posturing that is being done around this pandemic. Empires have been built. And, Fauci is up to 45 minutes of his 15 minutes of fame.
I am fully vaccinated, which I don’t think is very good for me, but I also realize that it gives me an enormous advantage in survival, which for some reason I find important.
At some point when everyone has had every opportunity to be vaccinated, the masks will come off, and there will be hell to pay for anyone trying to make people wear them.
Today, I encountered a neighbor out for a walk, and he had his “Vaccine Card” clipped to his shirt!
I didn’t ask for the story, I just kept on walking…
41 years in healthcare, and I never saw anything stranger than what I have observed in the last 14 months…
It’s a ridiculous concept, that people have any idea how to “infection control”, or even wash their hands, but in the face of a huge body of evidence, you should most probably get your vaccine, and try to move on from the comedy of government errors, forever.
Glad you got the shots, Ernie, it just might save your life.
Florida has lead positive case counts in the US for months with their wide open policies, so I think they’ve had some problems. They are chugging right along with about 5k new cases a day and a percentage of those will be eventual hospitalizations or deaths. Florida is also serving as a breeding ground for new potential variants. I’m not sure what the right balance is for new guidelines, but saying Florida has had few problems is a complete misnomer. They have had plenty of problems (arguably the most problems) of any state lately, but their political leadership has decided that a certain amount of sickness and death is the cost of doing business. Desantis is screaming it from the rooftops that his was the right decision. In this political climate if you can say it loud enough and people believe it, then it is the truth. Sounds pretty good if you’re lucky enough to stay on the doing business end of that proposition and can stay away from the sickness and death end, but not everyone will be so lucky.
As this link says- “Many factors may account for the disparity in cases according to experts. And there isn’t one simple answer, Emily Pond, MPH, a research data analyst at the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center in Baltimore, told Healthline.
“It’s very difficult to compare between states, just because the demographic composition is different,” Pond said. “Even within a state, it can be significantly different between regions.”
https://www.healthline.com/health-news/california-and-florida-took-a-different-approach-in-reopening-how-theyre-faring-with-covid-19#Past-infection-provides-some-immunity
But don’t let that stop you from picking winners and losers according to what you want it to be. The virus will be waiting to restart when restrictions are reduced. And reduced they must be sooner or later. Different mutations spread at different times in different places. In the end vaccination rates and age demographics will mean more than politics. No expert will know until the pandemic is over but expertise is not a requirement for posting comments.
How hard it must for any governor anywhere to pick a path that goes along a knife edge ridge between the dangers and benefits of isolation. Especially when so many are trying to shove them off one side or the other based on their politics. Too far on either side for their population and the fall into failure will be sharp.
Yeah, fuck the doctor that worked through AIDS and Covid and everything between, tirelessly, for multiple administrations of both parties.
He’s an opportunist scumbag.
Obviously!
Fauci Admits — Roughly half of NIH employees have chosen not to get vaccine…
CDC & FDA: 40-50% Of Our Employees Are Not Vaccinated
National Institute of Health, CDC, FDA employees were offered the vaccine very early this year.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/fauci-half-of-our-employees-have-not-been-vaccinated/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wcpy6iLfLE
I suspect his employees know him better than you do.
I doubt NIH employees are any wiser than the general public. After a couple of decades of constant vicious sniping at each other based on race, privilege and politics, what American ever trusts other Americans or the government? No one turns on and off victimhood like a light switch. If you’ve been convinced that people, especially in government, are going to treat you badly because you are a minority or because you are not a minority and that justice must come from violence, then an act of faith like getting vaccinated (faith because its workings are not obvious) is going to be scary and you are only going to risk it if the risk of sickness is more scary. It is safer just to refuse.
That’s a natural result of government that uses hate as a political tool while the national press is egging on the fight. When was the last time you heard good things about American or the phrase “American values” was not an attack on other Americans? We are the victims of our own divisiveness our willingness to abuse other Americans, and we now believe all the evil that we are told to believe.
“I doubt NIH employees are any wiser than the general public.”
If true, it’s kind of pathetic that they don’t know about the company they work for, especially when public health is concerned, on an issue the whole world is in a panic about. Don’t ya think?
Or possibly they know way more than the general public.
I agree with several points you made on the hype of hate.
Look at the overall health of this country.
That’s the beauty of statistics.
According to this link, Spain was the world’s healthiest country in 2019. Yet in per capita deaths, it matches the US. https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/healthiest-countries-in-the-world#:~:text=10%20Healthiest%20Countries%20in%20the%20World%201%20Spain,Singapore.%20…%209%20Norway.%20…%2010%20Israel.%20
While Samoa, rated least health, has almost no covid-19 deaths.

Look up ‘Fauci’ in the dictionary.
You will find him somewhere between ‘fact’ and ‘fiction’,
and if your trying to find ‘fault’, rest assured, when you have found ‘Fauci’, only ‘faugh’, (pronounced, coincdently, like foe), an expression of contempt, disgust, etc., is all that is found before ‘fault’.
Faugh!
Not sure it works that way. You don’t have to be a scientist for science based logic, or guessing. “I’ve read that ultraviolet light … so it must work.” I did not install a uv light so… it doesn’t work? Or, I wore a mask and I’m still alive, therefore, I’m pretty good at guessing that masks work? I asked God to make the sun come up today, and it did. Did God do that, or did Zeus, ’cause I asked him to do it also? Just to test my guess, I’ll ask Dog to make to sun come up tomorrow.
Yay, I’m not the only believer in Dog!
At first Dog had a ball, but it was smooth and boring. So, Dog chewed on the ball, and valleys and mountains were formed on its surface. After more chewing, Dog observed that the ball was now wet and slimy and covered in oceans, and She was pleased. Dog scratched Her fur and plants and animals fell onto the ball. And that is how the Earth came to be. Occasionally Dog plays with the ball, and we get earthquakes.
If you disagree, it’s just Dog testing your faith, so any time you think you have evidence that Dog didn’t form the earth playing with Her ball, it’s just more tests.
Brilliant👏👏👏
However I am a pagan, I believe in many Dogs.
Of course I believe in Dog. I have seen Dog in action. Dog has comforted me, when I was down, on several occasions. However, I never new the creation story. I will pass it on and teach my grandchildren of the unconditional love of Dog. And, absolutely, there are multiple Dogs. But, despite their differences, there is a common thread between all Dogs, and that is DOG. I only hope I don’t face Cerberus in the end. On the other hand, Dog heaven will probably be an exhausting eternity of play for a human.

You misspelled “peon”….
You’re welcome!
Even looking the effect of hate right in the eye in vaccine acceptance , you proceed to spread more hate not even connected to it. Congratulations on victory of self indulgent spite over any chance of success.
Why do you hate Dog?
And this is comedy, you’re welcome to not enjoy it.
I find it funnier than Grandpa-dead-from-covid material by LR.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That explains how the eARTh was created in seven days. 7 Dog days to every 1 human day. 7 Dog years to every 1 human year. One birthday (or Christmas?) celebration every 52 days.

I to love to watch DOG in action!
Would have been more convincing had Dog been a male. Bitches don’t play with their balls.
Exactly my thoughts on his comment, besides my other thought on his comment.
If you’re a right wing news consumer, you will think DeSantis is gods gift to managing the epidemic. The numbers would beg to differ.

he called it
What numbers? People die. Shit happens. Should have just kept life as normal. Would have been to herd immunity in no time and natural selection would have weeded out the sick and infirm. Makes the entire species stronger and preserves natural resources.
Why do governments worldwide work so hard to keep populations alive?
Oh… free money, duh!
As if leaving Ca. isnt attractive enough…if Newsom draws this sh@# out….sigh.
I am done period!!
I’m fully vaccinated I pose no threat to anybody and nobody poses a threat to me. I am done!!!
I’m done too!
I’m not vaccinated , I pose no threat to anybody and nobody poses a threat to me. I am done!!!
Imagine seeing other human beings as a threat for breathing air. Welcome to the New World.
it is time to move on. everyone who wants it is pretty much vaccinated. great, you are allegedly safe, more data will confirm or disprove that assertion. those who haven’t, we are allegedly not putting anyone but ourselves at risk.
it will take about 5 years to actually have the full, “certified” data set and fully analyze said data for actual mortality rates, transmission rates, and another decade before they understand the true vaccine performance to long-term risk profile.
We can cancel the old how many people to screw in a light bulb joke for
The how many agencies does it take to decide to dump a mask joke.
Fauci Admits — Roughly half of NIH employees have chosen not to get vaccine…
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/fauci-half-of-our-employees-have-not-been-vaccinated/
Thanks hot coffee. 40% of the employees in the n.i.h. aren’t vaxxed, sort of telling. They had the first chance, and even they haven’t. Wonder if they know something we don’t?
I love how, on several different articles here in the last couple days, everyone is suddenly a huge fan of the CDC and saying we absolutely need to listen to them, while the very same people before were talking about how dishonest the CDC was and saying we absolutely need to ignore them…
A full 180 on bothsides, does this mean your against the cdc now or just not using them as a source of info. The cdc has sucked all along, just some 9 to 5er collecting a check, all in with a lunchbox,next.
Except me. I was ripping on them the whole time. Now I’m just ripping on people that have switched sides. It’s called not being a hypocritical jackwad. If you want to spend a whole year quoting the cdc and calling people who disagree with them ignorant you deserved to be slapped in the face for instantly switching sides.
They haven’t switched sides. People just react to what they see as confirmation of what they already believe. If the CDC says something they can use, use it they will. If it says something they don’t want to hear, they will condemn it. Both ends of the political spectrum do it equally.
I don’t think that the CDC has been reliable for decades. Look at what this article says about a Limes Disease vaccine and the CDC. Limes Disease has been a slow moving pandemic for decades yet the CDC has been stuck in neutral for years because it was not a front page headline.
“Each year, the ranks grow of people whose Lyme disease was diagnosed late simply because their test result was wrong… Nonetheless, the agency has refused to retire an archaic test, arbitrarily crafted at a conference in Dearborn, Mich. in 1994, even as studies and meta-analyses documented the failure of the test and the toll of disability grew.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/marybethpfeiffer/2020/03/13/lessons-from-lyme-disease-six-reasons-the-cdcs-covid-19-failure-was-predictable/?sh=688c7b8af8e6
“In April, the National Institutes of Health announced that it intends to commit $6 million in fiscal year 2020 to more than a dozen projects aimed at the prevention of tick-borne diseases, including vaccine research.” You want to bet that happened after covid-19 hit?
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/10/why-there-no-lyme-vaccine-humans/599503/
Truly the CDC has spent money and effort on social issues according to political pressure and was caught flat footed, unprepared and ineffective when faced with what their mandate truly is- meeting disease threats- from botching the early virus test while keeping others from trying to managing public information. And Fauci is the poster child for being a political windsock rather than a scientist. He does not deserve respect for his administration. Except maybe for having not offended any of TPTB for decades.
Because there is no requirement to show vaccination status. Once cases people can do something, so can the unvaxed.
I love how the people who were saying we definitely need to do what the CDC says are suddenly agnostic.
And I sincerely mean that
I find some of you people amusing. Literally, what happened to the common cold/flu it is also a coronavirus. You people would line up every year to get your flu shot. Now all of a sudden you believe people that are making millions off of you, when they tell you just take two of these and you will be good. This is not going anywhere there is too much money to be made off you sheep. I did tip my lunch person $20 because they thanked me for not wearing my mask. I just really want to know who thinks they are going to live forever. I could die a million ways but that’s not going to stop me from just living a simple life.
So don’t wash your hands? Don’t have a toilet? So not look both ways before crossing a street? Don’t wear a seatbelt in the car? So don’t take any precautions at all because that is being a sheeple?
False equivalence. And you know it.
Is a coincidence that most of the people that voted for Trump, dont want to wear masks? Humboldt has a long way to go.
No, it’s not a coincidence. And all the while calling everyone that’s masked “Sheeple”.
If Trump hadn’t opened his yap masks would have been a non-factor.
And how do you know that? The same way that anti vaxxers know that mRNA vaccines are a plot to create infertility ? “It feels right? “
Being hesitant is a by product our collective awareness of the ability of humans to decieve.
Test yourself against your own normalcy bias, and recognize that evil intelligence tends to congregate around central Power and control systems.
And just assume this “evil intelligence” is going to get you at every turn unless you are hypervigilant? So vigilant that you grow your own food, weave your own clothes from plants you grow yourself, won’t drive a car with a computer chip, won’t use a cell phone, won’t whatever… There has to be a limit to such beliefs for a sane human being.
Holding the beliefs that sars-cov-2 is a deliberately constructed virus to reduce the population and simultaneously that it is no more than the flu is illogical. And that vaccines are part of a plot to spread infertility and drug companies have created vaccines to make lots of money are also conflicting beliefs. But that doesn’t seem to stop people from fervently believing both. It’s a consequence of trying to have a universal conspiracy theory that encompasses all things when most are just plain coincidence.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Carl Sagan
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Isaac Asimov
I’m not sure anyone commenting here thinks it was a ” deliberately constructed virus to reduce the population”.
Might have been deliberately created but the reasons have so far been elusive. I’m betting on military vaccine originally. No damning evidence yet.
Now the jab……considering who is behind many of them (eugenisists), that is a decent possibility.
The Wellcome Trust is a good place to begin looking.
A smart feller once told me that the coronavirus is far less dangerous to your health than the act of dictating what others can or cannot freely do.
I refrain from telling others what to do because my wellbeing depends upon it.
Humboldt is about to go through a reckoning. Tons of doofuses without masks, and we’re getting hit hard. People are going to die frequently with the new variant and refusal to vaccinate.
T, you are right, .03% of tested People who test positive will ultimately die, so put that white flag of surrender on your face and live in fear. I’m going to get on with my life. Life is too short time to smile again 😁 and see facial expressions again.
Good luck to you and yours. I still think it is idiotic. Not hard to wear a mask.
Agreed.
Only man-babies cry about masks.
Yet, here you are, crying about an article that precludes the masks you worship.
THAT’S crying about masks!
Perhaps it’s the people who have expressions on their face no one wants to see.
😠 LOL masks are good hiding faces…. hmm, places.
Ha haha ha ha, I can picture it: orange hair, arms flapping, “I don’t WANT to wear a mask!! Ehhhh!!! No! I won’t DO it!!”
What is your goal here? Do you expect to simply insult someone into cooperation? It does not work. I do not expect better from people whose world view consists of being the victim of hidden powers. They just want to drive others away. Insults are good for that. But, if you want to mandate for good, why would you sabotage that by poking the recalcitrant until they are in a frenzy? Truly, I want to know how you see that working.
I don’t think the people you respond to are genuine, minus 1 name.
Therefore it is not my intention to change their position.
My intent is to make their position seem as ludicrous as it is in any way possible FOR OTHER READERS who don’t take part in commenting, but read comments as basis for positions.
You’re still not convincing anyone and it’s easy to see how ludicrous your positions are.
Of course it’s hard when you actually believe that your freedoms and sovereignty are somehow connected to a piece of cloth. That not wearing a mask makes you a super patriot exercising independence and free thinking. They don’t adhere to the adage that with freedom comes responsibility. Responsibility is for Sheeple.
Hang on to your beliefs.
Masks are no longer necessary.
The same clowns that suggested wearing them are now saying we don’t need to wear them.
Move along now, nothing to see here.
As if I’d listen to advice from someone that makes up a name containing his nemesis’s on Loco. Like a 12 year old, the insinuation is petty and immature. Really not clever at all.
Did you mean nemeses?
Hardly. But the vitriol and propaganda they post incessantly is amusing. Kinda like watching a slow rolling train wreck. Can’t look away.
The selection of my screen name has warranted the desired effect, though. Twice that I’m aware of, you have commented on it. Kinda like the 7 year old that whines to her mother? “Billy’s making mean faces at me!”
You post a fair amount of vitriol and propaganda yourself, under your endless list of names. I think everyone’s patience has worn out after what, 5 years now? I was there for your debut. The comment threads went to hell when you showed up. I’m sure your very proud of yourself.
This name you use reveals more about you, not them.
Endless? I guess you could look at it that way if you’re missing a finger on one of your hands.
And suddenly you speak for everyone?
Yeah, sure you do!
Everyone knows who you are, T. You took it so far on Loco that you got doxxed. Whatever, that’s how you roll.
You’ve got no room whatsoever telling me how to comment here.
But you have authority to tell others how to comment here? Why? I don’t see “yeah sure.com” as being the domain name for this website. Do I need to get my eyes checked?
🤠
Pretty sure you are allowed to continue you cloth-wearing as long as you desire YS.
If it makes you feel good.
I’ll pass.
Ys,
Why do you keep trying to explain something you have no clue about?
Your…. I don’t understand this so I’m going to explain it to others, is wrong, repetitive, and boring.
People are individuals there is no ” they” in the context you use.
Armature Psychology is not your strong suit.
Try explaining why you see things the way you do instead of telling other people how “they” see things.
I can’t comment because I don’t spend all of my time on the internet looking for articles that align with my beliefs to post here like I’m an expert? You consider yourself an “expert”? At what?
Posting links? You only speak for yourself as you post links of other people’s opinions? C’mon, get real. I’ll comment all I want, about what I want, like everyone else here. You’re under the impression that you are the only person here that is the voice of reason? All you do is specialize in YOUR opinions, imagine that….
Exactly, instead of researching for truth you make up delusions about what other posters think.
Actually I think there are many here with a voice of reason, and I’ve never claimed to be an expert, so you’re wrong again in your babblings of what me or anyone else thinks.
Funny, YOU label me as an expert, then you think I have to defend something I never claimed to be when you’re the one giving me the label.
That’s called crazy making, and gaslighting. I decline to play your game.
I dunno, ys, I’ve read some very good articles/studies/papers that HotCoffee has posted links to.
Not much from your realm though.
(post it and I’ll check it out)
stockholm syndrome
No! I cannot wear a mask; I have worn a shield when out. Health issues on hold for over a year. Masks don’t stop viruses!
I am done with this bologna in CA, and now Humboldt County. I’ve has a complete course of the vaccine, and I’m done. Guess they can do what they want…no longer obliged to follow CA or Humboldt County. The Federal Government says vaccinated? Resume life a normal. That’s what I plan to do.
Of course, Socialist Democrats want us to bow to their demands to stay slaves to the dumbest and most corrupt leaders I have seen in my entire long life. I am not a sheep. NO More. Masks DON’T work. This new edict is useless in stopping Covid 19.
Drop the crap, CA, Humboldt. We aren’t playing anymore. Got it?
Agreed 100%. I’m vaccinated. I’m done. You don’t want to vaccinate that’s your problem.
Seconded.
I’m not. May be problem, may be blessing.
Let everyone that thinks not wearing a mask is the right thing to do, do so. We have all seen what happens to those types, throughout history. Darwin wrote about it once. Its either some rwnj or someone listening to the yoga teacher, instead of doing the right thing and keeping healthy. best thing to do would be to get your shots and wear the mask for as long as possible. until the coast is really clear
It’s possible to wear a mask for the rest of your life, is that your plan?
I doubt any of “those types” would stop you.
As for Darwin…
Well fat Mc Donalds eating, diet coke drinking Trump VS Skinny Joe Dementia kinda blows that theory.
Not that I would eat what Donald eats, I avoid aspartame at all costs… but he’s doing just fine.
Maybe we just all come here with a birth date and an expiration date.
Nice post hot coffee, It seems unlikely the CDC deserves the Darwin Award, about their rec. to unmask. And good points about McDonald’s, chemicals in foods, maybe processed food and lack of exercise isn’t the cause of ill health, but it sure doesn’t help.
Good comments hot coffee and AA.
Amen! AA
I don’t want to wear a mask, but I do so in situations where it is required for me to access goods and services that I deem important enough to sheepishly follow silly rules. Kind of like how I never liked spending absurd amounts of money on flowers and candy on Valentine’s Day but you gotta pay to play sometimes. My question for all of the science lovers is how come it took so long for all of the geniuses in public health (Fauci et al) to “discover” that putting a dirty rag over your gap stops you from spitting all over other peoples shit?
Some of the most hilarious anti-masker comments yet !!! Thanks for my morning comedic relief. 😂😂😂
The government may mandate masking but if it’s a “filthy rag”, that’s on you.
I have only worn one out of respect for business owners who don’t need more grief than they are already getting.
On at the door and off as I leave so I can breathe.
Kym, don’t blame you for deleting my last comment but you had to have gotten a chuckle from it!
Hope you’re having a great day!
The last comment I deleted of yours was about a month ago…Are you sure that I did something?
I apologize. Didn’t see a comment I made earlier but I see it is there now.
Thanks, Kym!
Be good to each other. History will say that it was not time to take off the masks. Be well
What evidence do you have to support that theory?
When the handlers of infectious diseases release covid 21,22,23, etc
I disagree. History will show we were dumbshits for following the bs to begin with.
(btw, historically there have been numerous studies, through the years- like 50 years, all showing that masks really don’t work to contain virus….until 2020 that is, then it’s conveniently mixed)
So why are some or all of the moratoriums over, if the pandemic isn’t over?
It sure has been nice to see so many smiling faces these last couple of days!
Been that way in Trinity for months. 😎
But we’re paying the price for not masking up. Just look at our numbers!
What’s to review, you get both shots no mask. I have both shots now I will not be wearing a mask period. For those of you that won’t get vaccinated that’s your choice. But I’m done taking responsibility for your welfare.
You were never responsible for anyone else’s welfare. You were told you were. Don’t feel guilty! We’re all responsible for our own choices on how to take care of our health. I’m glad you feel safer and hope you stay well!
Exactly.
I’m surely not responsible for your choices, Gettheshot.
Hope it all works out.
Where do you think your shot came from?
Exactly! Someone besides you that was looking out for your welfare…
And how do you show gratitude?
With the finger.
Classy.
No. That was someone who was hired to perform a task for money.
Is my trash collector looking out for my well being?
So I thought wearing a mask was all about consideration toward others, vaccinated or not.
So now I guess if you’re vaccinated you can be inconsiderate.
And then if you choose to be considerate after vaccination and still wear a mask, you will be discriminated against when people assume you are not vaccinated.
Also, you can surely bet the unvaccinated will drop the mask so they won’t get any grief for being unvaccinated.
The CDC is short sided in their thinking, if they believe more people will get vaccinated, by offering permission to discontinue masking if they do so, as a kind of reward lollipop.
The end result will be masking being discontinued by all, in order to not be stigmatized because you’re wearing a mask.
The CDC decision will do more harm than good.
“Also, you can surely bet the unvaccinated will drop the mask so they won’t get any grief for being unvaccinated.” Unless of course they get sick. That would be getting plenty of grief.
The sad part is no one should be getting grief, vaccinated or not, grief is not good for your health, especially for people already stressed.
So who is pushing for the grief? Perhaps they are the problem.
Very good points, Guest.
More mental gymnastics.
Guest you nailed it. Basically they are telling us in a round about way that Everyone can stop masking
I have a question.
With all the traffic accidents an such, when at the ER, if you get a blood transfusion that came from a vaccinated person will that count as being vaccinated or not?
Good question got coffee, maybe dr. Hoffman can answer that.
LOL AA
Yep that’s me the woman who’s got lots of Hot Coffee and lots of questions!
It was a cold morning when I picked that name.
Wasn’t there a plea recently for blood donners?
That leads to other questions …if a person doesn’t want the vax can they get a vax free blood transfusion?
If so, how would they go about that?
If not, why not?
Dang HotCoffee, I had just posted a comment about the blood-donor-plea then decided to erase it (I think?).
I remember it too. A few weeks ago perhaps? I wondered then also. ???
🤙
Which leads to another question: can you choose which vax blood you get? I’ll take the Modern or the price Pfizer blood, but, not the JJ or Astro blood.
And, if you get any except JJ, do you need two transfusions?

Hot Coffee,
I am a blood donor.
I take it very seriously.
And that is a great question.
I have pondered it myself, and was even trying to figure out how to pose it here, but couldn’t really figure out exactly how to do it.
As happens occasionally, someone sometimes will coincidentally do it before me.
So thank you.
It’s like you read my mind.
I think you are right that someone’s transfusion preference might be vaccinated blood.
Just as someone elses preference might be unvaccinated blood.
Someone would have to be willing, not only to donate blood, but to also remain unvaccinated.
That person would be me.
Heaven only knows what effect receiving vaccinated blood might have, on someone vaccinated or not, with the different vaccines, combined variously with each other in all combinations.
So that a donor and recipient both unvaccinated, donor unvaccinated and recipient vaccinated, donor vaccinated and recipient unvaccinated, and donor and recipient both vaccinated, become the possibilities, and potential preferences for the recipient.
Now throw in the fact that there are 3 or more different vaccines to add to the question.
Will the different vaccines cause a reaction to each other?
Will vaccinated blood provide protection?
Except for the fact that the protocols in place at the blood bank make contracting Covid19 from a transfusion extremely unlikely, it seems technically possible.
How much a vaccination might or might not provide protection against that is yet to be determined as far as I know.
I do know that you can donate if vaccinated.
Whether or not you must be fully vaccinated, I do not know.
Please, folks, if you can’t respect me because I wish, for the time being, to remain unvaccinated, please respect my choice to remain an unvaccinated donor on behalf of anyone who would prefer, or must have unvaccinated blood due to a possible allergy or some such medical reason, if even that is possible.
I am also willing to keep wearing a mask as necessary to protect others, if I choose to get vaccinated or not,
You see, that is what they are for.
And I am honored to continue to be a blood donor.
Almost 10 gallons.
I hope it has saved someone.
Hopefully one, or more.
