In response to questions about when the federal government will lift mask mandates, and what the CDC recommendations are for masking in schools, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated that while cases and hospitalizations are falling, the latest guidance still encourages the wearing of masks for adults and school children.

“We continue to recommend masking in areas of high and substantial transmission, which is much of the country right now, and indoor settings.” Walensky did not provide a benchmark as to when those recommendations would change.

Walensky said “We certainly understand the need and desire to be flexible and want to ensure the public health guidance that we’re providing meets the moment that we’re in… Cases of hospitalizations are falling, this is of course encouraging. And that leads us of course to have a look at all of our guidance based on the latest data and the science and what we know about the virus.”

The CDC is “looking at the hospitals as a barometer of how they’re doing locally. So those decisions can be made on a local level and of course we at CDC will keep the public informed about our guidance and we will clearly communicate those recommendations to the public if and when they are updated,” Walensky said.

When asked what a benchmark would be for updates to those recommendations, Walensky said that while the decrease in both cases and hospitalizations due to COVID are decreasing, and decisions need to be made on a local level in response to local needs, the CDC continues “to recommend masking in areas of high and substantial transmission in much of the country right now and indoor settings. And so we’re of course taking a close look at this in real-time and we’re evaluating rates of transmission as well as rates of severe outcomes.”

A reporter followed up on that question, asking about the choices governors in Connecticut, Virginia, Oregon, California, Delaware, and expected changes by New York’s unelected governor have made to remove mask requirements and mandates.

“Are you seeing any data that supports the decisions of these governors to drop mandates? And when it comes to masking, should people be listening to the CDC or listening to their governors?” asked another reporter.

In response, Walensky said that “we’ve always said that these decisions are going to have to be made at the local level and the policies at the local level will look at local cases. They’ll look at how local hospitals are doing and they’ll look at local vaccination rates. And they, as I understand it, in many of these decisions are using a phased approach. not all of these decisions are being made to stop things tomorrow, but they’re looking at a phased approach. And so what I would say is, again, they have to be done at the local level, but I’m really encouraged.”

The next question asked what metrics are being used to make changes to guidance. “The states have been asking explicitly, governors have asked explicitly, for guidance from the CDC on mask-wearing and how to relax mitigation efforts. Is the CDC prepared to provide guidance to the governor and when will it do so?”

Walensky said that while she and the CDC “are encouraged by the trends, we are not there yet.” There was additionally no indication as to when the CDC would advise that children stop being forced to learn, exercise, and socialize at school with their faces covered.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
