CDC issues new outdoor mask guidance for vaccinated people

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased its guidelines Tuesday on the wearing of masks outdoors, saying fully vaccinated Americans don't need to cover their faces anymore unless they are in a big crowd of strangers.

And those who are unvaccinated can go outside without masks in some cases, too.

The new guidance represents another carefully calibrated step on the road back to normal from the coronavirus outbreak that has killed over 570,000 people in U.S.

Mask outdoors is idiotic. I swear if the CDC said jumping off of a bridge was good for your health many a jackass would jump. Some people act as if questioning the CDC is like a toddler questioning a parent.

I wasn't wearing a mask Outdoors anyway to begin with. I am adhearing to stores policies requiring them to wear inside their establishment but outside I'll be damned if I'm wearing one. Wearing one outside an inside your car is like wearing a condom to bed hoping you're going to get laid
