Not wearing a coronavirus face mask in these locations is now a federal crime

[Andy Meek]

• As part of the latest coronavirus update from the US federal government, the CDC has now codified a Biden administration mandate requiring coronavirus face masks to be worn by travelers in certain settings.
• The CDC's order reiterates that it's now a violation of federal law to not wear face masks on public transportation, such as on airplanes and subways.
• President Biden also made a public call to everyone to wear face masks whenever they're outside, in almost every setting, for at least the first 100 days of his administration.

The latest coronavirus update from the drugmaker Pfizer is that it should be able to deliver 200 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the US by May, earlier than its initial target of June.

That's according to a new report, which says that, now that health care providers are able to extract an extra dose of Pfizer's vaccine from vials, the company should be able to successfully deliver some 2 billion doses of the vaccine globally by the end of this year. That's promising news indeed, because a vaccine coupled with other continuing public health measures is what's generally understood as the formula needed to bring about the end of the coronavirus pandemic. The Biden administration, on a related note, has also now formalized what's needed on the other side of that equation to help hasten the pandemic's end -- codifying into law public health measures, like the requirement to wear a coronavirus face mask.
