New guidelines coming from the CDC on mask-wearing ease some restrictions – but in what some are calling a shocking turn, the agency is now telling people what they
can do, not just what they can t.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, made the announcement on Tuesday:
Walensky: Over the past year, we have spent a lot of time telling Americans what they cannot do – what they should not do. Today, I m going to tell you some of the things you can do

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has just released major new guidance on mask-wearing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the new guidance, announced Tuesday afternoon, April 27, people who are fully vaccinated and who are outdoors no longer have to wear masks if they are gathered in small groups.
Masks should still be worn at heavily attending outdoor gatherings, including concerts and sports events, where social distancing is not possible, the CDC said.
It is also safe for those fully vaccinated to return to several activities inside, including attending religious services, exercise classes, but mask-wearing is still advised until more Americans are fully vaccinated.

Death lurks in first kisses, in almond butter jars and in movie theatre popcorn for 18-year-old Kristen Pittaro, a freshman psychology major at Stony Brook University.
Allergies are not limited to the kitchen. They follow her around to makeup stores, restaurants and outings with her boyfriend. They push her grocery and hospital bills exceptionally high. They feast on her mental health and are a source of her anxiety. As an adolescent, she recalls panicking over “that first kiss moment, being almost there and then thinking, wait, what did you eat today?”
Food allergies in children have skyrocketed 50% between 1997 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Roughly two children in every classroom have food allergies and a third of those children are bullied as a result, according to statistics collected by Food Allergy Research & Education.
