WASHINGTON (AP) - As the COVID-19 omicron variant surges across the United States, top federal health officials are looking to add a negative test along with its five-day isolation restrictions for asymptomatic Americans who catch the coronavirus, the White House’s top medical adviser said Sunday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now considering including the negative test as part of its guidance after getting significant “pushback” on its updated recommendations last week.
Under that Dec. 27 guidance, isolation restrictions for people infected with COVID-19 were shortened from 10 days to five days if they are no longer feeling symptoms or running a fever. After that period, they are asked to spend the following five days wearing a mask when around others.
The guidelines have since received criticism from many health professionals for not specifying a negative antigen test as a requirement for leaving isolation.
“There has been some concern about why we don’t ask people at that five-day period to get tested,” Fauci said. “Looking at it again, there may be an option in that, that testing could be a part of that, and I think we’re going to be hearing more about that in the next day or so from the CDC.”
Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, said the U.S. has been seeing almost a “vertical increase” of new cases, now averaging 400,000 cases a day, with hospitalizations also up.
“We are definitely in the middle of a very severe surge and uptick in cases,” he said. “The acceleration of cases that we’ve seen is unprecedented, gone well beyond anything we’ve seen before.”

For something that amounts to the common cold...so much so that it is near impossible, outside of full genome sequencing, to tell them apart.
They’re criminals...guilty of violating Nuremberg Codes, our Constitution, and God given rights.

Would it be any different than your average winter with friends and family having colds, were we in the pre-Covid era?
So if you don’t have symptoms and test negative, what?
You’re still counted as a case number?
They’re going to start testing all not sick people to try to find SOME who come up positive so they can continue to jack the numbers?
If I get sick, unless it becomes life threatening, I am not letting any medical personnel know.
A nationally-recognized criminal says “case” the whole nation.
The narrative is falling apart.
I am sick with covid like symptoms. There are no tests available in my area.
"Top" refers to organizational position, let's not pretend that it has anything to do with skill or knowledge.
If a football coach had his sort of win-loss record, he wouldn't be allowed within a mile of a locker room. If a mechanic kept making lengthy and unnecessary repairs to your car, you would get rid of both the mechanic and the car. If your kid's school bus driver kept getting into accidents, you wouldn't put your kid on their bus and demand the driver be fired.
Whether or not you think Fauci is the esteemed saintly expert on public health that he is claimed to be (which is certainly not a popular opinion on this forum), at some point you got to admit that he's not been very effective in stopping any of the Rona variants from spreading across America.

Speaking of testing...

Anyone seen this...results for 229E on their lab report?
If you’ve been able to get your mitts on your lab report that is.
Interesting health fact (you know, “science”):
Healthy people have all kinds of viruses in their bodies especially their noses every day.
Only immune deficient lab rats kept in isolation do not.
If we understood this, we would not stupidly see any sense in testing people without symptoms of illness. Ever.
On Jan 4 we either take the shot or be tested once a week, how in the hell do we test with no tests available!! I believe this was intentional BANK ON IT!!
I don’t recall the scientific method including any provisions for pushback from the public.
Well, it appears to be scientifically proven that people tend to follow other people behind microphones and in front of cameras….
