As you might expect, social media reaction was mixed toward the CDC’s new mask guidelines.
The CDC’s new guidance announced Thursday allows COVID-vaccinated people to ditch their masks indoors in many instances.
The CDC still is calling for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings such as buses, planes and hospitals but eased restrictions for reopening workplaces and schools.
Here is a sample of responses on Twitter:
Psh, with all these new strains of covid going around and too many being unvaccinated #thanksCDC but the mask stays on for now.

Really? Hmm... Kind of good news but... Did they take into that people might lie about being fully vaccinated? If businesses can't ask for proof how the hell do you know who will be telling the truth? #JustSaying #maskoff https://t.co/hpeUgi9X11

So we'll just have a bunch of anti-vaxxers claiming they are vax'd to continue spreading variants.
