Official live update of spread of COVID19

And it looks like the CDC is loosening its mask guidelines:

In a sharp turnabout from previous recommendations, federal health officials on Thursday advised that Americans who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus may stop wearing masks or maintaining social distance in most indoor and outdoor settings, regardless of size.

The advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention comes as welcome news to Americans who have tired of restrictions and marks a watershed moment in the pandemic. Masks ignited controversy in communities across the United States, symbolizing a bitter partisan divide over approaches to the pandemic and a badge of political affiliation.

So, in 3 weeks (my second dose of Pfizer in a week plus two weeks) I will no longer need to wear a mask or social distance (barring any mandates by Pritzker, Lightfoot, or Van Duesen.)
