with two weeks left to go in our spring
broadcasting
season we're happy to have you watching
my name is carl azuz
we're starting with a look at some new
guidance and some questions about it
when it comes to wearing masks in the
united states
late last week the centers for disease
control and prevention said most
americans who are fully vaccinated
against covet 19
can now stop wearing masks whether
they're indoors or outdoors
and that they no longer need to keep
their distance from each other
one thing to point out here is that this
is guidance from the cdc
it's not national law many u.s states
did not require wearing masks whether
people were vaccinated or not
but several states that did have mask
mandates removed them
after the new cdc guidance came out
until last week
the cdc had advised that even americans
who'd been vaccinated needed to keep
masks on
when they were indoors or in crowds the
health agency said they still might be
carrying the virus
now it says the latest evidence
indicates it's unlikely that vaccinated
people are carrying the virus
so they can be mask free publix
starbucks walmart and walt disney world
were among the companies that
changed their mask policies following
the new guidance
but it created some confusion in some
other businesses which are trying to
decide what their policies are for
customers and employees returning to
work
and in schools where many students are
too young to be eligible for an
authorized emergency use vaccine
the cdc says schools should keep mask
mandates in place
none of the vaccines has been shown to
be 100 effective against coronavirus
there have been a number of breakthrough
cases recorded when people who are fully
vaccinated still
tested positive for the disease and
america's biggest union of registered
nurses has spoken out against the cdc's
decision
saying it's not based on science doesn't
protect public health
and threatens medical patients and
workers across america
the union says it's too soon to relax
mask mandates
cdc data shows that new coronavirus
cases in the u.s have dropped
dramatically since their peak in january
experts say this is because of
vaccinations and
natural immunities in people who've
already had the disease
for the nearly 122 million americans now
fully vaccinated this weekend came with
a mix of relief
in some cases some questions with only
37 percent of the country fully
vaccinated
is it too soon to unmask indoors asks
wilson hung
i work in elementary school where i
think i will still probably still wear a
mask until
until i feel like it's safe enough to
not yeah and yeah you know
it's not just to protect me but protect
you know like the city has said
like the the ones around there all over
the country americans like hung are
choosing to keep the mask on even after
the cdc announced it's okay to lose it
indoors if you're fully vaccinated
against covet 19
and under most circumstances some
experts maintain
it's a personal decision recommending
you look up transmission rates in your
community or county if in doubt
if it's high consider some activities to
be risky and keep the mask on
if not feel free to unmask like david
harris
i feel comfortable but i understand that
some people might not feel comfortable
i feel comfortable outdoors and i think
in some settings indoors might feel more
uncomfortable
it's particularly crowded at least 19
states lifted mandates for vaccinated
people following the cdc's new guidance
others still studying the
recommendations before deciding
businesses face some tough decisions of
their own at grocery chains to leonard's
mass signs are gone but not actual masks
a lot of our customers are still a
little uncomfortable walking through the
store with no mask so
all of our team members we have 2500
team members they're all required to
wear masks
right now um we're we're not going to
throw people out of the store if they
come in with no masks the new challenge
will be knowing if those discarding
their masks really
are fully vaccinated president biden the
biden administration maintains americans
will be on an
honor system i'm also like a little
unsure about that because i definitely
feel like
you're going off of like what people are
saying and like there's no really way to
like hold someone accountable to
something like that
at least seven states have reached the
biden administration's goal to vaccinate
70 percent of their adult population
with at least one shot
new jersey became the latest this
weekend
ten-second trivia what accounts for the
largest share of the cost of building a
new house
interior finishes foundation framing or
major systems
interior finishes like flooring cabinets
plumbing and appliances account for more
than 25
of a home's construction cost

committee continues to reiterate that
they are determined to host the olympic
games as planned
in the most recent virtual press
briefing however the press briefing was
cut short by a protester and here in
japan the local polls show that the
majority of the japanese population
think that the games should be canceled

rating 10 out of 10 when you are doing a
live weather report and there's a
technical glitch
the best thing you can do is have fun
with it that's what fox nine
meteorologist jennifer mcdermott
recently did
at first she tried some hand waving then
she broke out a bit of a silly walk it's
almost a robot
and finally a full conga line of closer
and closer up jennifer's hilariously
made their way across the shot
it wasn't pre-screened it was green
screen and it was a scream to see the
way she owned it
when mcdermott's report got clouded by a
storm of technical trouble
she rained down humor by precipitating a
freestyle forecast that was partly
glitchy with a 100 chance of
awesome i m carl azuz and that's cnn 10.
