      Just to be clear, as these CDC guidelines seem vague/unclear: that means both vaccinated and unvaccinated family meeting each other can be unmasked? Including unvaccinated teenagers?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1368962245103878149 …

      Yeay! CDC guidelines now say not just that vaccinated people can meet with other vaccinated people without masks, but that they can do so with other *unvaccinated* individuals, too, as long as they are low-risk (i.e. healthy adults or grandchildren!) and from one other household. pic.twitter.com/OQkwExzEGS

      The CDC guidelines say that vaccinated people can meet indoors and unmasked with unvaccinated members from another (single) household. So CDC says it's okay for vaccinated grandparents to meet their unvaccinated children/grandchildren who live together without masks.

      Got it. But what’s not clear is two families of four, two adults, two teenagers in each. One of the two families has two parents vaccinated, one doesn’t. Can all 8 people meet together unmasked indoors? 🤔

      You likely don’t want to mix the unvaccinated teens from different households indoors without masks. The vaccinated adults could visit the other household (including meeting their unmasked teens). Principle: don’t mix unvaccinated folks from different households indoors+unmasked.

          Thanks, makes sense, but I fear this nuanced though clear take from you will be lost in the generic delight with which Americans will greet these new vague CDC guidelines.

          This a key to designing these communications, to assume many/most will take away the most favorable possible interpretation and/or the one that validates their previous actions and beliefs. The best marketing does that.

          This level of confusion is probably why CDC has been until now reluctant to say much more than everyone stay masked.
