proper corona admin, vol 102 - game night with dr. fauci

I've just reviewed the CDC's (newest) mask guidelines for the third time. I wanted to make sure I understood it, so I poured myself a cup of coffee and dug into the details. Here's the page if you want to see it, but I made a quick summary for anyone in a hurry - if you're vaccinated, you can stop wearing masks, except when you should, though you never should outside, assuming of course no other superseding local guidelines, but no worries because if you happen to be around someone who is sick there is no need to isolate, in fact you don't even need to get tested, which makes a lot of sense except that no vaccine is 100% effective... anyway, like, you know?

Luckily, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, clarified matters - "What we're really asking in those settings, is to say, in terms of the honor system, people have to be honest with themselves." So apparently, there is a - excuse me, the - honor system now? Where was the honor system for the last fourteen months? I think it would have made more sense if the CDC just told it like it is - America is going to play a COVID variant of Secret Hitler for the next few months. I have understood the instructions, right? There are two groups - a little over half on the vaccinated team while the rest lie about being vaccinated. What, you want to see my card? I'm sure this will go well.
