That brings up an interesting question. Before the pandemic, there were many places of business were face coverings were not permitted for security reasons. You couldn't, for example, walk into a bank with a mask on. The usefulness of security cameras, for instance, is significantly decreased if you cannot see someone's face. Once the pandemic is over, I wonder if businesses will continue to allow people to wear masks if they choose to do so, or if they will go back to the pre-pandemic rules of no face coverings.
Places that had security features often would require you to remove your mask for a shot on the camera of your face and then put it back on.

That’s some good information missing from a lot of the main stream media reports.

I guess 12 to 16 year olds can get vaccinated??
Not yet. Pfizer released results of their trial on 12-15 year olds but they still need to apply to have their EUA amended to go down from ages 16+ to ages 12+. It’s expected to take several weeks to get approval for the amendment and by that time most states will be open to the general population so in theory 12-15 year olds will be able to make appointments. They are only going to be eligible for Pfizer shots at first. Today in any state that is open to the general public that includes 16 and 17 year olds with Pfizer and 18+ for Moderna and JnJ.
 
I'm not ever going back to Disney World again. I just returned from being there. There was about a million people. And waits were upward an hour even at 9 am. What a complete joke that they were operating only at 35% Some gross person at Carousel Of Progress even blew one side of their nose when we were there. So completely disgusting!!!!

16 year olds can now get vaccinated in Georgia, actually.
16 and 17 year olds are only eligible for the Pfizer vaccine (not the other 2) based on the original EUA. The new data released today will allow 12-15 year olds to get the Pfizer shot once they get the amendment approved by the FDA. Moderna and JnJ are still running their trials for 12-17 year olds.

And it was almost like the corona virus had gone. What typically took us 7.5 hours to drive from Atlanta to Orlando took us 9. It seemed like the whole world was on vacation.

I’ve worked in a casino for a couple decades and surgical style masks have been fairly common for several years with Asian players. Full face coverings are not allowed but surgical style masks are allowed, at least where I work. As you said we’ll occasionally ask someone to pull the mask down, when verifying age with an ID for example, but I can’t see it being a problem if someone wants to continue wearing a mask after the mandates are gone.
