Yes, here it is. Looks like scientists disagree.NBC News via MSN

Personally, I don't believe anything coming from the CDC nor the WHO. The fact that the scientists can't agree for the most part is also concerning.
Most of those in my area are NOT wearing masks. Signs mandating mask wearing have been taken down.
Hospitals and medical facilities are still mandating masks -- cloth is not allowed and they hand you a paper mask -- medical grade.

YES, UK EXTENDED DATE TO KEEP UK AT PRESENT LEVEL LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS FOR ANOTHER FOUR WEEKS, JULY 19:
Consider the rest in quotes:
"Health leaders have expressed “relief” that the Prime Minister has extended the current lockdown restrictions for another four weeks.
Pushing back so-called Freedom Day to July 19 will mean that the NHS can vaccinate “many more people”, NHS Providers said as it welcomed the “cautious” approach.
It will also mean that there is “less pressure” on hospitals which are still recovering from the effects of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the NHS Confederation said health leaders will be “relieved” at the delay.
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, said that a cautious approach 'is prudent'".

Addition: UK hoping if person has had two vaccine shots, and gets Delta, the vaccines will keep the infection lower so person may not have to go to hospital. Hospital admissions are tracked.
