Thanks.

• The CDC recommended that fully vaccinated people begin wearing masks indoors again in places with high Covid transmission rates.
• The updated guidance comes ahead of the fall, when the delta variant is expected to cause another surge in new coronavirus cases and many large employers plan to bring workers back to the office.
• Experts say Covid prevention strategies remain critical to protect people from the virus, especially in areas of moderate-to-high community transmission levels.

Federal health officials still believe fully vaccinated individuals represent a very small amount of transmission. Still, some vaccinated people could be carrying higher levels of the virus than previously understood and potentially transmit it to others.

“This pandemic continues to pose a serious threat to the health of all Americans,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters on a call. “Today, we have new science related to the delta variant that requires us to update the guidance regarding what you can do when you are fully vaccinated.”

The updated guidance comes ahead of the fall season, when the highly contagious delta variant is expected to cause another surge in new coronavirus cases and many large employers plan to bring workers back to the office. In mid-May, the CDC said fully vaccinated people didn’t need to wear masks in most settings, whether indoors or outdoors.

“In areas with substantial and high transmission, CDC recommends fully vaccinated people wear masks in public, indoor settings to help prevent the spread of the delta variant, and protect others. This includes schools,” Walensky said. The CDC recommends that everyone in grade schools wear masks indoors, “including teachers, staff, students and visitors, regardless of vaccination status.”

Walensky said new data shows the variant behaves “uniquely differently from past strains of the virus,” indicating that some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant “may be contagious and spread the virus to others.”

White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that the CDC was considering whether to revise mask guidance for vaccinated Americans, saying it was “under active consideration.”

“It’s a dynamic situation. It’s a work in progress, it evolves like in so many other areas of the pandemic,” Fauci, also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN. “You’ve got to look at the data.”

Update after a little research.

The indoor mask change is due to the data set over the last 60 days concerning the DELTA variant. The level of transferable viral load in nasal passages of both vax/unvax is close to equal with the DELTA where vaccinated individuals had a much lower viral load in the base/originating COVID strain. Vaccinated people still have little chance of getting ill/hospitalized/or death and are nearly all asymptomatic.
The mask guidelines change, for high spread areas, are to minimize the risk to the unvaccinated.
The way out is to get a high level of fully vaccinated people across our country/world. This will virtually eliminate the proliferation of COVID.

Interesting and almost worst case scenarios. I wonder if they did time studies. Anecdotal stuff I'm seeing is vaccinated people recover faster from delta.

So pleased that JJack is back at practice. It means he's vaxxed. So gratifying to know 90+ percent of the team is vaxxed. It means a locker room of smart, motivated players, ready to play smart, motivated, vaccinated footballl this fall. :rimshot:

I think the CDC is erring on the side of caution with these new recommendations. My understanding is that they’re inferring that asymptomatic vaccinated individuals can spread the disease as easily as unvaccinated individuals due to the level of the virus in both. Not that it’s completely proven yet. But that’s the fear. I still think transmission is lower for asymptomatic vaccinated individuals until proven otherwise but will wear a mask indoors because I don’t want to risk getting it and giving it to my kid.
