After over a year of mask-wearing and social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the end may finally be near with new CDC guidance.
“If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters during a COVID-19 briefing on May 13. “We have all longed for this moment when we can get back to some sense of normalcy.”
Under the recently announced guidance, people who are fully vaccinated with both shots against COVID-19 will no longer need to wear a mask or socially distance unless the state law requires it. This decision was due to the increasing vaccination numbers across the country and the general effectiveness of vaccines, as Walensky cited in her briefing which convinced the CDC to issue this guidance.

“Shadow and Bone” is currently streaming on Netflix, having been the #2 most watched show in the US on its debut weekend. This fantasy-action series is an adaptation of the hit book series by author Leigh Bardugo. (Netflix)
Book-to screen adaptations are oftentimes a high risk, but high reward genre. Consider Harry Potter, arguably one of the best movie adaptations ever made. Nearly every scene in all eight movies felt like a realization and tangible expansion of everything fans imagined the books to be. Unfortunately, this true-to-source approach is rare. Just glance at a Percy Jackson movie and you know an all too common pain that fans of book series feel. Beloved characters, complex plots and meaningful themes, through the age old tragedy of high-expectations, are positively butchered on screen (I still get nightmares about Annabeth with black hair).

Outdoor business restrictions in Connecticut will be phased out on May 1, followed by indoor restrictions on May 19, Governor Ned Lamont announced in a press conference on April 19.
Movie theatres, restaurants and retail stores will be among the businesses impacted. The decision comes in light of rising vaccination rates and low infection rates across Connecticut.
“What we want to do on May 1 and May 19 is subject to looking at the numbers, looking at the infection rates in particular and looking at hospitalizations,” Lamont said in a press conference on April 19. “But so far in that last month or two months, we’ve been going in a good direction.”
