Thoughts on @CDCgov mask update
They got the science right: fully vaccinated folks don't need to wear masks indoors
Of course, there is one major problem: how do you know who is vaccinated?
States/companies are getting policy response to CDC guidance wrong

In response to CDC, states/businesses have 3 choices:
1. Figure out who is vaccinated or not (hard to do but not undoable)
2. Drop mask requirements for everyone, hope for honor system (easy to do, not great)
3. Keep masking a bit longer (not hard to do, much better)

Option 1: figure out who is vaccinated
I get this is hard. Vax verification systems are coming but not here yet
Option 2: Drop mask mandates and hope
Not a good idea. Why? Lots of folks still not yet vaccinated. Infection levels high
Option 3: wait about 4 more weeks

So here's why business/states should wait a bit
1. People who became eligible on 4/19 (rule followers who didn't jump line) will become fully vaccinated no later than 6/15
2. Infection levels still high across country but falling
In about a month, we'll be <20K cases/day

Bottom line
People angry at CDC not for what they said but how others use what they said
I get it
But lets focus on getting states, businesses to implement policy right
Either do hard work of figuring out who is vaccinated (vaccine passports)
Or wait 4 weeks
End
