    Preface: The CDC is considering recommend-
    ing a booster Covid-19 vaccination be given to
    "immunocompromised individuals".

    Islit - Insulinitis, near-total to total loss of endo-
    genous insulin, is in most cases the result of an
    autoimmune attack on pancreatic beta cells, so
    Islit individuals are clearly classified as "immun-
    ocompromised individuals".

    However, per the following article, people with
    any of the listed conditions are at an increased
    risk of Covid-19 (including everyone with any of
    the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions), so it's
    unclear if all or only part of the following might be
    considered by the CDC for a booster shot:

    In my opinion, the decision by the CDC to remove
    the fask mask mandate was a mistake, as the Delta
    variant has since then resulted in an explosion in
    new U.S. cases of Covid-19, the U.S. now back at
    the top of new cases in the world, at ~63,000. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases

    For a short period in early July the U.S. dropped out
    of the top 10 in the world, a 7-day average of new
    cases < 10,000, but now is amidst a rate rising close
    to the rapid rise in November 2020.

    The U.S. government’s leading health officials are
    actively considering recommending that even those
    individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-
    19 wear face masks in public settings again, as the
    highly transmissible delta variant continues to spread,
    Dr. Anthony Fauci has confirmed.

    Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and
    Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and is President Biden’s
    chief medical adviser, told CNN’s “State of the Union”
    that he has taken part in conversations about altering
    the mask guidelines, as the Associated Press reported. ...

    CDC changes mask guidance in response
    to threat of Delta variant of Covid-19 https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/politics/cdc-mask-guidance/index.html
    - - -

    The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
    now recommends that people in areas with "high" or
    "substantial" Covid-19 transmission should resume
    wearing masks indoors.

    Nearly two-thirds of US counties have high or sub-
    stantial transmission of Covid-19, according to CDC
    data; 46% of counties have HIGH transmission and
    17% have substantial transmission.

    - - -
    Insert

    Note that some states (Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas),
    EVERY county has HIGH transmission, & some states
    (Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Utah), almost every
    county has HIGH transmission.

    Website to check the transmission rate
    in your county:
    https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view

    The county I'm in has a HIGH transmission
    rate so needless to say, I'm double-masking
    although even if my county had a low trans-
    mission rate I'd still be double-masking 'til
    the Covid-19 7-day average of new cases
    goes back down to < 10,000. Even then,
    I'll probably continue double-masking.
