Mask Update

The latest CDC decision is that those vaccinated (still a fraction of the country) can generally -- not in places like nursing homes or transportation -- not wear a mask. Even inside.

But, how does one determine that? Some are saying this is a honor system relying on dishonorable people. Recall the change only applies to the vaccinated. Some now are pressured to wear masks because others are. If some don't because of being vaccinated, others will use that as a reason to "free ride" even if they aren't. Let's say in supermarkets.

The sensible approach there is for certain areas to still require everyone to wear masks unless there was a means to check. New York has the Excelsior Pass with a bar code (I have it) though it would be even better if they upload a photo on record.  Basically, a place can scan it, though a photo would make things quicker.  A NYC location can have a scanner that reads the bar code at entrances.  Some nation-wide pass would make sense though the usual suspects are talking as if that was a yellow star.
