I assume the CDC has not changed their definition of public transportation...

CDC has issued an Order that requires face masks to be worn by all travelers while on public transportation (which includes all passengers and all personnel operating conveyances). People must wear masks that completely cover both the mouth and nose while awaiting, boarding, disembarking, or traveling on airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-shares as they are traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories. People must also wear masks while at transportation hubs (e.g., airports, bus or ferry terminals, train and subway stations, seaports, U.S. ports of entry, and other locations where people board public transportation in the United States and U.S. territories).

Let me rephrase that - city supplied public transportation. Have you ever ridden a bus in Huntsville? I haven't.

You forgot that in the “only part” in doctors offices. Stuck until September 13th unless CDC evolves again.
Hopefully masks won't be required on airplanes forever. At least until September 13th, masks will still be mandated on airplanes by federal law. I flew recently and my flight on the way back, many people had their masks on their chins and the flight attendants did not care. I have a feeling the airlines will find some way to require a vaccine proof to not wear a mask, but I could be wrong.

I actually think that's a pretty good thing, and I'm generally conservative. Everybody should have a photo of their vaccine card on their phones anyway.

If that happens, then most definitely I will get the vaccine and toss all my masks. Many people will probably voluntarily wear them on planes, but that will be on them.

So long as they don't make the vaccine mandatory for air travel. As I said earlier, my wife is unable to take it, and there are others that fall under the same, another gentleman mentioned his severe vaccine reaction also.
There is an argument that proof of vaccination violates Hippa rights. Alabama just passed a law banning "vaccine passports" for businesses and events in the state, of course airlines and such fall under different regulations. The argument was "government intrusion into personal freedom and health choices."

Kudos to the South in general, from a northerner. The South has in general reacted the best way to this ginned up reaction to what is essentially a bad flu season. It is sad to see my fellow northerners/easterners literally go insane over this and buy into the narrative that criminal against humanity Fauci along with the CFR is propagating.

After the CDC said that people who are fully vaccinated don't have to wear masks many government officials including the President and Dr. Faucci removed their masks. Now they are wearing them again. That was perplexing until Dr. Faucci actually admitted it was just good optics.

Nah, HIPAA doesn't apply to vaccine passports. HIPAA only applies to employers and healthcare providers.

Most people on RSA aren't wearing masks anymore. In the building I went to today, only one person was wearing a mask. Everybody still pretended to socially distance though.
