Mark Loafman: It’s a moving target. What’s making everybody in the public health world a little bit cautious is that there are a small percentage of people that are vaccinated who will contract the infection. What we’re telling people in low-risk settings, like being outdoors, physically distanced with people that are vaccinated indoors, an outdoor dining experience, even going to the ballpark or out to a picnic event in the open, it’s generally very safe right now. It’s not 0% risk. So, if you have a loved one at home who is incredibly susceptible, those folks should continue to use the mask. We just need to get comfortable with this level of variability.
