CDC: Color-coded map reveals where Americans need to wear masks again, and where you can go maskless, outside of schools
People in orange and red-colored counties should wear masks indoors in public, the CDC said Tuesday. CDC Covid Data Tracker
Around here, this part of Baltimore, almost everyone wears a mask inside and out, and I think they will keep doing it even if Maryland is colored yellow. I certainly will. (I've never thought the CDC leniencies were appropriate.) I made a mistake the weekend before last, in Pennsylvania at a hamfest, left my mask in the car and when I saw that less than 10% of the people there were wearing one, I didn't go straight back to the car. Only there for an hour, I'm fully vaccinated, I've been tested with a blood sample test 3 times in the last 8 weeks and each time I've had vaccination antibodies but no infection antibodies, it's been 10 days since the hamfest, no symptoms, but I won't this mistake again.
Worth noting the obvious: the southeast is the worst, the northeast is the best.
Maryland and DC are the only areas that are entirely yellow (moderate), with no orange or red. There are some blue (low) counties in the plains
