The Pentagon on Wednesday lifted its mask requirement for inside the building following new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"Effective immediately ... masks are no longer required indoors at the Pentagon," according to a Defense Department statement. "Individuals may wear a mask if they choose."

In addition, the Pentagon - where roughly 20,000 military and civilian employees work - lowered its health protection level in the building to "Bravo," allowing up to 50 percent occupancy in the building as well as "more options for seating in the food court."

The Pentagon's announcement follows similar moves from the White House and Congress earlier this week, with lawmakers mostly going maskless when attending President Biden's first State of the Union address at the Capitol on Tuesday night.

1. I just got back from a trip to the post office here in Albuquerque and they've removed

their "masks required" signs from the entry area. Some customers were masked and some were not. I wore my mask, dammit, since I expect the next variant anytime now!

2. Everyone is vaccinated by now so it should be OK

I still wear a mask indoors. Defense workers are often packed in close together.

Packed in like sardines. With very little natural light. Bleah.
