   When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated CDC

   >If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.
   
   >Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
   
   Any guesses as to how many people or percentage of those who are not vaccinated will just say they are?

      @geniusmusing One thing I have come across a couple of times is that the vaccines are not expected to completely prevent infections, but instead to reduce the severity thereof. Thus, you may become infected (and maybe even pass the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus to others) despite having taken your shots.
      
      I recently skipped a friend’s wedding reception despite being vaccinated. The reason was because there were some required tasks at work that day, but afterward, I learned that people were maskless and close together (and I only knew a few of the people). I would have been even more uncomfortable than I already am in those situations.

         I have still yet to get mine but wanting to travel after being home bound for over a year is probably the push we need.
         
         Still not going to be stupid about it, on a plane, will probably still wear a mask.
         
         I also wonder which states will embrace this change, guessing many of the southern states will update their rules within a day or so, maybe sooner.
