Masks may be gone by July here. For the state it’s when we hit 70% vaccinated but Philly is allowed to have their own rules which could keep them a little longer. More importantly the June 11 lifting of the capacity limits for major sporting events also lifts all restrictions on tailgates
None of this is unreasonable. Nuance, unfortunately, creates the circulation of memes questioning distancing on a terminal before boarding a plane and getting us nowhere. Such is our bed.
I just wish every population center would follow the same path, so that our “good enough” national baseline wasn’t an outbreak waiting to happen in pockets all over. Hope I’m wrong, but the pessimist is winning this internal battle.Pop some popcorn because it’s coming soon
Where I live in PA they are dropping the indoor mask mandate when 70% of adults are vaccinated. Should be sometime in 4-6 weeks at most. I imagine other NE states like NY/NJ/MA will follow the same pattern. CA has already said they are dropping all Covid restrictions by mid-June if things continue to look good. Once those major population centers start dropping restrictions it will be harder and harder for national chain stores and national attractions like WDW to keep them. If we hit 70% of adults vaccinated nationwide by July 4th (the target) I could see all Covid safety mandates relaxed shortly after. It’s going to be a wild ride
I don’t know how the policing will work but so far with limited capacity there have been no issues. In general masks are pretty well accepted around here so most people know what they need to do and accept it. The Sixers are close to locking up the 1 seed and having a full arena is key for home court advantage so it will be a hot ticket to get for sure. For what the playoff tickets cost nobody is going to risk getting booted out for non-compliance of a mask rule
You learn how to do that when remote too.
I don’t disagree. I think a national vaccine target would have been the way to go but at a minimum do that locally. I know for me personally I would feel much better in an arena full of people without a mask in a city that has 70%+ vaccinated than I would in a smaller setting somewhere with less than 50% vaccinated.
Any idea how we're counting all the 12-17 people being vaccinated? The new ones coming and the existing 16-17 year old already.
I'm getting my 2nd shot tomorrow. We have a "masks outside when 6' distance cannot be maintained" mandate in place right now.

High crime in big cities.
I'd welcome the chance to see John Bonham perform in person, but no, you can keep your Studio 54 disco styles to yourself.
That wasn’t my question. I have read some posts here where people say they would wear a mask because community spread is not low enough even in situations where it’s not required.
To clarify, I DO think some areas are jumping the gun with getting rid of mandates...especially in places where vaccination rates are low. Dropping mandates before reaching a certain level of vaccination gives people an excuse to not get vaccinated, when we need every medically-able person to get their jabs.
So you think the people who could give a crap about the mandates to begin with, are suddenly going to get magically motivated to get vaccinated, so the mandates they don’t follow get dropped ?
Huh? I didn't say anything in that comment about people flouting mandates.
