Wearing face mask views

Generally for vaccinated people, outdoor activities without a mask are safe. However, we continue to recommend masking in crowded outdoor settings and venues such as packed stadiums and concerts, where there is decreased ability to maintain physical distance and where many unvaccinated people may also be present. We will continue to recommend this until widespread vaccination is achieved.

What it says are those of us who have been vaccinated are gonna be able to get our lives back and really start to return to normal. And those that are sitting on the fence are going to have to suffer through until we reach herd immunity so there’s a good reason to get vaccinated,” said Connexions 

The guidance came the same day the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners voted to extend their state of local emergency. That keeps in effect an ordinance requiring face coverings in public places.

Face masks have become a tool of hatred, they’re dividing people,” one person said.

“People will put them on if they want to but those of us who can’t or won’t let us just live the way we should,” another person told commissioners.

“This state of emergency is not about our health and safety it’s about a state and federal money grab,” said another.
