Luckily that’s still considered moderate transmission. And I agree with you. When I checked this morning it was 49.something.

49.97

This is going to be so funny to watch over the next few months as it goes back and forth, under and over the line, each time resetting the clock

Correct. We're still right on the edge of the mask cutoff, so who knows what the future will bring. But we're free from the mask mandate for at least a week.

They aren't going to bring the mask mandate back. They will just keep changing the rules, like they did this time.

We'll see, but I think they'll stick with the current framework based on substantial vs. moderate transmission levels and overall vaccination rates above or below 85%.

There's a pretty decent chance that the mask mandate is gone for good. And even it it comes back due to case counts, we'll almost certainly hit the 85% vaccination target in about a month.

To that one pp, however, we want to be CONTROLLED?? Well, I hope you are not all liberal posting on dcum and hating on China!

I want our elected officials to set a good example in their behavior AND set limits at this point because we have shown people cannot self regulate. China sadly is doing better than we are with covid.

Is that a joke about China? The country that nailed the doors shut of its citizen? Monitor their movements with apps?

Has the PP been following the news? China is a mess again with regards to C

What’s stupid comment.

We elect officials TO control the public. What the hell else the point of having a government, dummy? We vote for people who will be in authority, to protect us from dumbasses who go around blathering about “muh freedumbs”. Control? Control is the REASON we put people in charge.

Some of us are capable of assessing risks and making our own decisions (which included getting vaccinated with a booster). Sorry you need a daddy to tell you what to do.

Your risk taking impacts all of us in the community. That's what you don't seem to understand. Sadly people like you need to be told to act responsibly because otherwise you will not. We have proven that vaccines alone is not enough to protect us. US numbers are some of the highest still in the world. Pathetic. Just because you are vaccinated does not mean you should stop being careful. But, your post is clear that you don't care about anyone but yourself or how your behavior impacts others.

People like you will be raising another selfish generation and then complaining how you don't understand why they behave like they do.

I really don't understand why you don't just get decent PPE (e.g., N-95 masks and face shields) so you can stop worrying about other people. The people around you are probably just wearing cloth masks anyway, which aren't going to do much, even for you.

Yup. This. 100%.

I could literally not care less if a person wears a n-95 and a face shield at the grocery store. You do you.

But I can't stand the people that get all self-righteously angry at people not wearing a mask, when they themselves are in a flimsy cloth mask with gaping holes on the side.

Sorry, but those people can STFU
