And so, the "scientific" goal posts move again.
With even Biden this close to admitting defeat over covid, admitting today that "there is no Federal solution" before quietly getting out of Dodge, the CDC announced late on Monday that is slashing its previous self-isolation recommended period in half, and telling people who have Covid-19 to isolate themselves from others for 5 days if they aren’t experiencing symptoms, down from 10 days previously.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said in a statement Monday that following the 5-day isolation period, people with Covid-19 should wear a mask for 5 days when they are around other people. The new guidance supplants previous recommendations that said people who have tested positive for the virus should isolate for 10 days.
While Omicron has been documented to be far more mild than prior versions of covid, cases are still expected to surge in the U.S. following the holidays, threatening confusion and chaos among who are infected or exposed to the virus. The shorter isolation and quarantine periods will allow people to return to work or school sooner than previously permitted.
The CDC said in its statement that the shift in guidance was motivated by scienceTM showing the majority of coronavirus transmission occurs early in the course of the illness, in the first day or two before the onset of symptoms and the two to three days that follow.
The CDC also updated its recommended quarantine period for people who have been exposed to Covid-19. For those who are unvaccinated or who are eligible for a booster shot but haven’t yet received one, the agency recommends a five-day quarantine, followed by strict use of a mask for five more days despite copious research demonstrating that masks have little impact on virus spread, and despite the fact that the cities with the most aggressive mask requirements have emerged as the biggest covid epicenters.
Cases in New York State are now higher than they’ve ever been in Florida, despite all of New York’s mask mandates, vaccine passports and media praise
And yes, of course, New York’s collapse is also entirely the fault of Ron DeSantis pic.twitter.com/R28T9pv1t9 — IM (@ianmSC) December 27, 2021
If a five-day quarantine isn’t feasible, an exposed person should wear a well-fitting mask, such as an N95, at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure, the CDC recommended.
Meanwhile, individuals who have received a booster shot don’t need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days, the CDC said. If symptoms occur, individuals should quarantine until a negative test confirms that they don’t have Covid-19. Then again, if symptoms occur after taking a booster shot, perhaps it is time to realize that something is very wrong with the "expert" recommendations...
In other words, in a remarkable departure meant to stigmatize not just the unvaxxed but those without a booster shot, vaccinated but unboosted people are will now treated as "unvaccinated" when it comes to close contact quarantines. This, as a social worker noted on Twitter....
"would wreak havoc on school attendance for unboosted kids and teachers! I can't emphasize enough how this would totally derail the school year. All unboosted teachers would miss 5 days of school EVERY TIME one of their students test positive. And 12-15 year olds who are >6mo out from their 2nd dose aren't even booster eligible!"
According to Bloomberg, the new guidance "could entice more Americans to seek another dose of a vaccine", although with millions of "breakthrough" cases amid residual concerns about vaccine side-effects, it's unclear just how the billionaire's media empire came to this profound conclusion. Just under one-third of fully vaccinated people in the U.S. have received a booster, according to the CDC. We don't expect this number to rise substantially.
So if you had the Astra Zeneca vax you are cool? I notice they left it off. You also don’t get the clots like the mRNAs according to the myocardia chart earlier today with the non-RNA jabs.
the SCIENCE is that
the CDC is deceitfully corrupt, KNOWINGLY lies,
and KNOWINGLY has murdered Americans and their children
for MONEY,
for ROYALTIES and FAME.
For the CCP!
I’ve said it many times and will say it again, this will never end as long as the population remains compliant.
A-Z was never approved in the US so the CDC won't make a recommendation.
I always have to laugh when I see this argument.
Could it be the cities that are Covid hotspots are the ones that go on to implement mask mandates?
Oh. Not deadly enough to please Gates and his lackey, Fauci, eh?
They have no more tests around here. How can you tell if you have been exposed?
And meanwhile the guy who funded the GOF research at Wuhan, and who is responsible for multiple millions of deaths worldwide, still has a job and is NOT being investigated???? Go figure....

Cruise Lines should offer Omicron Cruises with testing, and
Certificates of Post Covid Recovery Acquired Natural Immunity.
(With liability waivers, Front Line Doctors armed with HCQ, Ivermectin etc.
on board and ready.)
They could recover their industry practically overnight.

The quick home tests aren't working all that well with Omicron, so there's that issue as well. We keep some tests on hand at all times, but supply hasn't been consistent. In the past month, I've found Walmart to be the best bet - either buy ahead for local pickup or have it shipped. Our experience with chain drug stores hasn't been good recently. Even if the online search indicates tests are in stock, the stores have bare shelves. Inventory systems aren't keeping up, or maybe it's an inventory shrinkage problem.

A RICO investigation and prosecutions
would clear up a butt load of this countries problems.
Maybe all of them.

A friend of my sons had to wait in line 5 hrs on Christmas for his so he could return to work Monday.
My daughter’s friend is sick now and can’t get one til the 3rd. I ordered one a week ago. Just got it. I am now post quarentine so will hold on to it.
FYI, I checked Walmart, and they still list the on/go test with 2 day shipping. Others look stocked out. If your daughter's friend wants to try another source, she might get it faster.
