CDC: Many Healthy Americans Can Take a Break From Masks

U.S. officials say most Americans live in places where healthy people can safely take a break from wearing masks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday outlined a new set of measures for communities where COVID-19 is easing its grip. They focus less on positive test results and more on what’s happening at hospitals. More than 70% of the U.S. population lives in counties where the coronavirus is posing a low or medium threat to hospitals. Those are the people who can stop wearing masks for now. The agency is still advising that people, including schoolchildren, wear masks where the risk of COVID-19 is high. The new recommendations don’t change the requirement to wear masks on public transportation.

(Monaca, Pa.) Pa State Josh Kail (15th) announced on Friday that he and and other members of a Washington County delegation of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives issued the following statement calling on President Joe Biden and his administration to seek Domestic Energy Solutions in Light of Ukraine Invasion.
Kail represents parts of Beaver and Washington County.
In the release that was sent out Friday morning stated:
“Our thoughts are with the Ukrainians as they face this senseless act of war by Russia.
“Less than 24 hours before the invasion, the United States and its allies bought over $700 million in Russian oil and gas products. The United States should be looking to domestic oil and gas producers to help solve our energy crisis, not the enemy. This search should start right here in Pennsylvania – the number two gas producing state in the country. We should not be reliant on dictators, despots or adversaries on the world stage when we have the ability to produce our own energy.
“With investments in infrastructure and constructive engagement with domestic producers, the United States can address skyrocketing energy prices now and in the near future. Our natural resources can solve our energy crisis and the energy crisis that now exists globally, especially with our European allies who have become dependent upon Russian oil and gas. Best of all, it can be done in a cleaner way than anywhere else in the world.
“We urge the White House to look right here at home for a way to solve our energy problem and work with our local producers in Pennsylvania.”
The Washington County delegation consists of Reps. Bud Cook (R-Washington/Fayette), Josh Kail (R-Beaver/Washington), Natalie Mihalek (R-Allegheny/Washington), Timothy O’Neal (R-Washington), Jason Ortitay (R-Washington/Allegheny), and Mike Puskaric (R-Allegheny/Washington).
