WASHINGTON — People fully vaccinated against the coronavirus finally have guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But that guidance, issued on Monday, seems to have raised as many questions as it answered. Even as that guidance permitted small gatherings of unmasked people, it made no concessions to those wanting to travel or gather in somewhat larger groups.

Hoping for a green light, vaccinated Americans got a flashing yellow instead.

That has left some wondering whether post-vaccine life is going to be all that different, in the near term, than life without the vaccine.

Big Tech Back Under Pressure From Rising Yields, With Apple, Microsoft, Semis Hit

A day after the Fed waved the green flag, the Treasury market raised a caution sign for growth stocks. New 14-month highs in the 10-year yield have investors’ feet firmly on the brakes this morning, especially in the Tech sector.

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s fellow residents in the nation’s capital are getting vaccinated for COVID-19 at a slower rate than almost anywhere else in the country.

Out of 59 U.S. states and territories, the District of Columbia currently ranks 55th in terms of the number of residents who have been vaccinated.

More people said their peers were “overreacting” (36 percent) than said they were “behaving appropriately” (30 percent). Just 6 percent said they had worn a mask. And nearly everyone (88 percent) predicted that fewer than 10,000 Americans would ultimately die from the disease.
