Not shocking, but good confirmation:COVID-19 positivity rate is lowest among those who always wore a mask
Surprised to see that number so high honestly, 11% still tested positive after social distancing and wearing a mask religiously but only 23% tested positive who did neither? And wasn’t the whole social distancing thing proven recently to be a waste of time since the virus was airborne and not primarily passed via respiratory droplets?
Curious Scoopers thoughts on this one. Our daycare just removed masks being mandatory for everyone in the center, regardless of vaccination status. Our daughter is under a year and it makes me a bit nervous an unvaccinated teacher could be caring for her without a mask.Anyone else have daycares doing similar things?
Agree, you should be concerned. If I were you, I'd see if I could grab the attention of other parents at the daycare. Get a 'union' together with the simple decree: Vaccinate all workers or we're leaving.
My daughters work a summer camp in our hometown in Connecticut. Kids up to Grade 6. Last year the counselors had to wear masks but the kids did not. This summer both kids and counselors need to wear masks even though they and the other counselors they know are already vaccinated.
That seems over the top, something the camp is doing for appearances.
I have now gone two straight weeks without wearing a mask anywhere. Always have it with me when I go to the store or out to eat, but no one is requiring it for people who are vaccinated like me.
I predicted back in May that the mask requirements for airports and airplanes would be dropped by July 4. I don't think that looks like a good prediction now.
I am not sure you will be that far off. But likely airports/airplanes and medical facilities will be the last places they are required. Actually, I was happy I had a mask on in the plane. Guy next to me was coughing up a lung the entire flight. Maybe I won't get sick.
I'm flying to Mexico in 10 days, I'll be bringing multiple masks and mints for the flights. My buddy warned me about mask breath during long flights.
Add all public transportation to that and you've got a bingo
I give it about 3 months post-full mask restriction lifting on all forms of travel before seeing a mask is a rarity. As for flights, I’ve specifically been holding off on booking a few longer flights till I get a better sense for masking on flights being lifted. It is what it is for like a 2 hour flight from Midwest out east, but I was on a 3.5 hour flight and by the end it was getting pretty annoying. A trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific flight in a mask sounds like absolute hell.
Yeah, I'm guessing Labor day... or July 4th if we can get our vaccination numbers up.
