According to the updated post, their “What you need to know” category has added and adjusted some of the original bullet points.
- When you wear a mask, you protect others as well as yourself. Masks work best when everyone wears one.
- A mask is NOT a substitute for social distancing. Masks should still be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially when indoors around people who don’t live in your household.
- Masks should completely cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly against the sides of face without gaps.
- Masks should be worn any time you are traveling on a plane, bus, train, or other form of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
- People age 2 and older should wear masks in public settings and when around people who don’t live in their household.
- Wear a mask inside your home if someone you live with is sick with symptoms of COVID-19 or has tested positive for COVID-19.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching or removing your mask.
- Masks may not be necessary when you are outside by yourself away from others, or with other people who live in your household. However, some areas may have mask mandates while out in public, so please check for the rules in your local area (e.g. city, county, state). Additionally, check whether any federal mask mandates apply to where you will be going.
- CDC continues to study the effectiveness of different types of masks and update our recommendations as new scientific evidence becomes available. The most recent scientific brief is available here: Scientific Brief: Community Use of Cloth Masks to Control the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 | CDC
- CDC recently conducted a study in a laboratory that tested the performance of different mask combinations.
- There are several easy methods to improve the performance of your mask. Visit CDC’s Improve the Fit and Filtration of Your Mask to Reduce the Spread of COVID-19 webpage to learn more.
One of the more notable changes is their guidance concerning those that should and should not wear masks.
Here is what the previous updated post stated:
Who should wear a mask:
- Everyone 2 years of age and older should wear a mask in public settings and when they are around people who do not live in their household.
- Wear a mask when caring for someone who is sick with Covid-19 (whether at home or in a non-healthcare setting). If you are sick with Covid-19 or think you may have Covid-19, wear a mask when you need to be around people or animals, even in your own home.
- CDC recognizes there are specific instances when wearing a mask may not be feasible. In these instances, consider adaptations and alternatives.
Who should not wear a mask:
- Children younger than 2 years old
- Anyone who has trouble breathing
- Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance
- Wearing masks may be difficult for some people with sensory, cognitive, or behavioral issues. If they are unable to wear a mask properly or cannot tolerate a mask, they should not wear one, and adaptations and alternatives should be considered
The new updated recommendations now read this:
Masks should be worn:
- By people 2 years of age and older
- Any time you are in a public setting
- Any time you are traveling on a plane, bus, train, or other form of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations
- When you are around people who do not live with you, including inside your home or inside someone else’s home
- Inside your home if someone you live with is sick with symptoms of COVID-19 or has tested positive for COVID-19
Masks should not be worn:
- By a child under 2 years of age
- By someone who cannot wear a mask safely, such as someone who has a disability or an underlying medical condition that precludes wearing a mask
- In a situation when wearing a mask would create a risk to workplace health, safety, or job duty as determined by the workplace risk assessment
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
So in that short amount of time (December 18th, 2020 – February 10th, 2020), the “science” has evolved that much. Now, if you claim to have trouble breathing, or have a hard time understanding someone else and cannot tolerate a mask: that goes out the window now. I guess the new recommendation is: Do what we say – we make the rules up as we go!
I have reminded readers of these loopholes in the CDC’s recommendations in several other posts. I hope you downloaded or printed off this report as I have. I am glad I did, so I could prove that the CDC did in fact change their guidance. As far as I am concerned, if need be, I will still carry the original around and flash the report to anyone, (a store manager perhaps) who gives me lip. If nothing else, print off the picture I have uploaded.
The CDC has recently teamed up with the Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) to act as Coronazis’ and treat those noncompliant as criminals – to enforce their latest mandate for interstate and international travel.

These people are trying to choke everyone to death just 6 weeks and they’ll say where a turd mask …..
I always thought this one was super idiotic about who shouldn’t wear a mask… might be why they changed it.
Who should not wear a mask:
“Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance”
Make sure you remember to spread the word to all the unconscious people so they know that they shouldn’t wear a mask, even though they won’t comprehend a word you’re saying.
If you are unconscious, how are you even supposed to consciously think about the CDC’s reccomendation to you to not wear a mask because you’re unconscious?
Not to mention there have been people who have passed out because of the mask; and when you pass out, its pretty easy to bang your noggin on something that will knock you unconscious. And who is going to take that ridiculousness off your face if you pass out so you can breathe?
Consider this about “asymptomatic” spread according to the CDC’s guidelines:
So its okay to not wear a mask and not socially distance around the people you live with, whether they are your family, best friend roommate, your 5 bedroom house that you sublet out to 4 other random folks, some stranger that you share a prison cell with, etc., because there’s absolutely no way that anyone you live with could be “asymptomatic” and haven’t got tested and spread it to you or the people you live with. But the moment you got out in public,, you gotta put that mask on, because the public could be “asymptomatic” and you could catch it from them. Or you could be “asymptomatic” and spread it to them. But you don’t have to wear a mask in the house because apparently you can’t catch it from an “asymptomatic” person who you live with who didn’t take a covid test.
Here’s another one – Wear a mask inside your home if someone you live with is sick with symptoms of COVID-19 or has tested positive for COVID-19:
According to the CDC’s updated guidance, if you live in a household with someone who is sick with covid symptoms or has tested positive, you have to wear a mask. Doesn’t say anything about the sick person having to wear a mask inside the house also. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the sick person to wear it, or both of them, than just the person who is healthy???
And lastly,, how can the CDC possibly recommend NON-MEDICAL disposable masks to the public?!?! How can you call yourself the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and recommend something to the general public that is already contaminated with microbes from the get go, as it isn’t STERILE like the masks that the Healthcare workers use?
EXACTLY!
