Nolte: Fauci Expects Updated CDC Guidelines on ‘Outdoor Masks’
26 Apr 2021
“I think it’s pretty common sense now that outdoor risk is really, really quite low. If you are a vaccinated person, wearing a mask outdoors, obviously, the risk is minuscule,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday during an appearance on ABC’s far-left show
This Week.
“What I believe you’re going to be hearing, what the country is going to be hearing soon is updated guidelines from the CDC,” he added.
“The CDC is a science-based organization. They don’t want to make any guidelines unless they look at the data, and the data backs it up. But when you look around at the commonsense situation, obviously, the risk is really very low, particularly if you are vaccinated.”

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is pushing to stop applying a public health order, designed to stop the spread of the Chinese coronavirus, to adults arriving with children at the United States-Mexico border.
Early last year, former President Trump invoked the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Title 42 order that gives federal immigration officials authority to quickly detain and return border crossers to their native countries.
Since March 2020, more than 531,600 border crossers have been expelled from the U.S. under the Title 42 order. The Biden administration, in February alone, expelled more than 72,100 border crossers using Title 42.
CDC: Fully Vaccinated People May Now Gather Without Masks
8 Mar 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released guidelines Monday for fully vaccinated people, allowing indoor gathering without masks.
The CDC’s new guidelines give fully vaccinated people fewer guidelines to follow. The fully vaccinated population is now able to socialize with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or physical distancing and socialize with unvaccinated people from a single household who are low risk for severe coronavirus while indoors without having to wear masks or social distancing. Furthermore, the CDC said if asymptomatic, people will not have to quarantine and test following a known exposure.
Healthier Oklahoma Coalition
Health care and public health experts predict the disease caused by the novel coronavirus may end up being a cause of death for Oklahomans long after whatever marks the official end of the COVID-19 pandemic. There s a lot of people who didn t die who have a lot of chronic health conditions that are going to be going on forever, said Dr. David Chansolme, medical director of infection prevention at INTEGRIS Health, at a Tuesday virtual press briefing held by the Healthier Oklahoma Coalition. People with pulmonary fibrosis, people that might have had a heart attack, people that had a stroke that could lead to further things, too, Chansolme said. It ll be interesting to see how those are read out, because they may not have had these problems had they not been six weeks in an ICU with COVID. So it ll continue to be a challenge.
