The United States is making progress in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Cases are dropping to levels not seen since last fall. Hospitalizations and deaths are also falling.
Health experts say vaccines are largely to thank, as 40% of American adults are now fully vaccinated. But CDC guidance over mask wearing continues to confuse cities and state officials across the country, as well as some health experts. You are very well immune, and you no longer need masks in public,â said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a Professor of Medicine at George Washington University. âYou can go into places without masks and it s time for the CDC to start embracing this kind of bifurcated strategy.
