CDC leader wants you to hear that before going to the free mask
"In the last two weeks, our business is down in this country about a third party."
Yesterday, the CDC announced thesevaccinated can gomask-Free in most places, interiors or outside. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of Disease and Prevention Control Centers (CDC) appeared onAll things Considered Yesterday and spoke with Ailsa Chang of NPR on big changes. Continue reading about seven take-away rates that can keep you safe - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSymptoms that everyone needs to know during this pandemic.
Why CDC issues this orientation now:
"In the last two weeks, our business is falling in this country about one-third. We are now about 34000, an average of 36,000 cases per day over the last seven days. The cases are down enough . The second does we really really have an opportunity through this country for anyone who wants a vaccine to obtain it. We extended this opportunity yesterday for 12 to 15 years, which made 17 million additional eligible people to a vaccine. But now, with all the available vaccine, we do not have vaccine shortages. We have opportunities for people to find where they can be vaccinated. And really, everyone who wants a vaccine to this Stadium has access to one. I could just say in parentheses, if you do not know where to get a vaccine, you can send a GetVax sms and put your postal code - 438829 and you can find all the vaccine near you. But third , there is u An evolution of science so in recent weeks and even some studies released last week or therefore have important things related to vaccination. One is that the vaccine works in the audience in the same way that it worked in clinical trials. That the effectiveness of real world studies is very similar, more than 90% in clinical trials. And so it's really a great fortid. The second is that it works against the variants we have distributed in this country. So we saw this in the laboratory. But we have also seen in studies currently published this week in New England newspaper that vaccines work against variant B117, variant B1351. And thirdly, there are emerging data that have shown that if you are vaccinated, you usually do not get asymptomatic infection and can not generally transmit to other people. So, there are certainly, you know, there are exceptions for all, but for the most part, the vaccine is once you are vaccinated, you can not convey to others. And so all this science, together with all the epidemiological data we have, really says the moment. "
On the reasons why masks are still needed on public transport:
"What we really need to do, because an agency is an attacker all our guidelines not only for trips, but for schools and for camps and for child care centers and for all the guidelines we have exposed and apply the direction we have for individuals, vaccinated individuals to that. And it will be the work of the weeks to come we have in the agency. And especially, also note that travel guidelines are not Only CDC's advice is a policy and it's an inter-agency policy. We must collaborate with other agencies to work through what could change in this policy. "
On the fact that vaccines do not provide 100% coverage:
"So you know, the emerging data we see for the most part there, we saw 90%. Numerous studies were up to 97%. But what we also see in these people who are infected for the plus a part, about one third of them having an asymptomatic infection. Many of them have, even if they have symptoms, they are light symptoms. So, in fact, what we saw in the tests Also, that these vaccines were also 100% effective to prevent hospitalizations and deaths. "
On that someone who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can safely go without masks:
"Our guidance is really for anyone vaccinated with one of the vaccines. Certainly, the Johnson and Johnson data clinical trials have also shown 100% efficiency in a serious illness, hospitalization and death."
When issuing clearer advice for workplaces:
"I think it's really important to understand at a jurisdictional level, how is your jurisdiction? All the country is not a homogeneous space. So we have jurisdictions that have higher case levels. We have jurisdictions who have levels lower than vaccine administration. And so, it may be very good that their jurisdictions want to examine how it is in a way the temperature of the way they do before lifting some of these mandates.
