[00:00.04]People vaccinated against the coronavirus in the U.S.
[00:03.92]can now gather in small groups indoors
[00:07.68]without restrictions a U.S. health agency said.
[00:12.92]The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
[00:18.72]made the announcement on Monday.
[00:21.28]The CDC said that small vaccinated groups
[00:25.48]could gather indoors without face coverings.
[00:29.60]It also advised that vaccinated people
[00:33.00]can meet with healthy people from a single home
[00:37.00]who are unvaccinated and at low risk
[00:40.24]for severe problems related to the virus.
[00:44.92]The guidance means that grandparents who have been vaccinated
[00:49.20]can meet with their healthy, unvaccinated grandchildren.
[00:54.32]Many vaccinated adults had been asking whether it is safe
[00:58.88]for vaccinated older people to meet with unvaccinated family members.
[01:05.24]The CDC answered that question with its recommendation.
[01:10.48]Dr. Rochelle Walensky is the CDC director.
[01:14.84]She spoke with reporters on Monday
[01:17.80]and said "we are starting to turn a corner."
[01:21.80]She added that her agency's guidance
[01:25.24]was a "first step" toward a return to normal life.
[01:30.88]Walensky said more guidelines will follow as there are fewer U.S. cases
[01:36.72]and hospitalizations related to COVID-19.
[01:41.44]However, she also said that people who have been vaccinated
[01:46.24]need to continue to wear face coverings in public
[01:50.92]and to avoid large gatherings.
[01:54.84]The CDC did not give advice to people who have been sick
[01:58.80]and recovered from the virus and who have a level of resistance to it.
[02:05.44]The agency said a person qualifies as fully vaccinated
[02:10.56]two weeks after the final shot.
[02:13.92]About nine percent of the U.S. population
[02:18.64]– about 31 million people – have been vaccinated so far.
[02:23.92]Health experts were encouraged by the agency's announcement.
[02:28.88]They said the news should make
[02:30.96]more people interested in being vaccinated.
[02:35.00]Dr. Richard Besser is a former acting director of the CDC.
[02:40.68]He called the announcement "welcome news."
[02:44.32]He said that it should add momentum to the vaccination campaign.
[02:51.84]Some other experts, however, were looking for a less cautious position.
[02:58.20]The CDC, for example,
[03:00.80]warned vaccinated Americans against unnecessary travel.
[03:06.92]Dr. Ali Khan, who used to work for the CDC
[03:11.56]and is currently the leader of the University
[03:14.76]of Nebraska's College of Public Health,
[03:17.68]said more travel should be permitted.
[03:22.32]"They need to relax travel for those vaccinated," he said.
[03:27.36]Khan added that the CDC should develop guidelines
[03:32.24]for electronic documents that prove people have been vaccinated.
[03:39.52]Dr. Leana Wen is a professor at George Washington University.
[03:45.68]She said this guidance should have come out sooner,
[03:50.16]possibly in January,
[03:52.20]when the first group of Americans was vaccinated.
[03:56.60]She said the CDC advice from Monday was "too cautious."
[04:02.84]In an email to the Associated Press,
[04:06.00]Wen said the CDC has a chance to "influence state and national policy"
[04:13.08]by making guidelines that permit people
[04:15.96]who have been vaccinated to do more.
[04:19.92]Even with the criticism, many people were pleased by the news.
[04:26.28]Ruth Michienzi is a 91-year-old grandmother in Massachusetts.
[04:31.84]She had just received her second vaccine shot.
[04:36.04]She said she was happy to see her great-grandchildren
[04:40.60]without wearing a face covering for the first time in a year.
[04:45.64]"I hope they remember me," she said.
[04:50.52]Grace McShane is 61.
[04:54.28]She also received her second injection of the vaccine on Monday.
[04:59.92]She is happy to give her grandchildren a hug and a "cuddle."
[05:06.16]But she said she supports being careful.
[05:10.52]"Even if you're vaccinated, it's better to be safe than sorry.
[05:15.00]This is the new normal.
[05:17.68]This is part of life and you just have to adapt to it."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
