They're answering questions. I am looking for info like "in x % of cases there have been breakthrough and in X %'s of cases were passed from vaccinated people"

Instead I get things in general terms, "may", and "could" etc. To me this sounds like we're covering our bases just in case.

Okay, I am going to go on record in thinking of the possibility that our Delta wave could last longer/look different than in India or the UK.

Reason: With higher vax levels, infections are like trying to light wet firewood. It's harder to get it going; but if you keep tending it and supplying it with some drier kindling, you can eventually get it burning, but not as hot and just slower to happen. India had low vax, so the whole country burned like a summer wildfire. Great Britain is a lot smaller geographical area than India, so despite the presence of wet wood, it was still able to work it's way through the island with regional burns overlapping.

The US is so large, and so patchwork in terms of wet and dry wood, I suspect it's going to act way more sequentially, while India and the UK burned somewhat in parallel. Missouri, Nevada, Florida are going to burn through, but other states aren't going to start burning until those states are done. The same phenomenon we've seen throughout this pandemic. The country, as a whole, will be dealing with things longer, even if the timeline in each region is similar. We're not so much up and down, but up, down part way, plateau, down more. That plateau period will add up to things lasting longer than "we just have to get to September." Come September, I expect the names of the affected states will have changed, but it won't be over.

That's how you explain the "science?" With a snarky answer. I have gone to Disney without wearing a mask. I won't go to Disney if they require them again. If they make the rule and I don't want to follow it then I just can't go. They have every right to make rules and I have the ability not to visit if I don't like the rules.

Not being snarky at all. To complain about having to wear a mask is petty but I appreciate the fact that you won't go if you have to wear a mask. Do you avoid all locations that require masks - medical clinics, hospitals, nursing homes. Would you be fine if your surgeon decided that they didn't want to wear a mask during surgery? Do you feel washing your hands is too much of an inconvenience for you? Where do you stand on seatbelts? What is the line you draw where you determine something is too troubling for you to do?

It's been around since December and has already been found in the US. Hardest hit in South American countries.

I'm really over and beyond this anti-vax crap. How I wish we could make so many stay home. I know we need patience but I'm burned out. Been giving my time and body for to just crap all over this country. Guess I'm glad if I can be mask free for another week. Sorry but this whole thing ticks me off royally. Wish to all ends that our previous national administration had done something about passports before the numerous states said no

Going to say something here. Not all of us who positively loathe masks are jerks and don't wear them. Just stop with the whataboutism.

Why is this announcement being kept so low key?

It’s not even breaking news at the type of news sources that you think would be running this with giant exclamation marks.

Sorry joined the CDC thing late, but it does not sound like they are outlining where you need the masks (aka calling out states that need masks) just saying that if transmission is high everyone needs to ware a mask. IF I am hearing this correctly, this is never going to work as it would be on state/local officials to enforce a mask mandate, most of the states on their map have anti-mask governors they are not going to start masking again. There is too much ambiguity in this announcement. Let me know if I missed something or am misunderstanding.
