The director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) told people to stay home if they are sick in a holiday message Friday.

“We continue to see a lot of respiratory illness right now. Flu, COVID and RSV are spreading in most of the country,” Mandy Cohen said in a Friday video posted to the CDC’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“And as we gather with family and friends this time of year, I want to give you a few reminders,” Cohen continued. “I know it’s hard, but if you’re feeling sick, please stay home. Avoid spreading germs to others, especially your loved ones who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Also, get tested, so you know what you have and can get treatment.”

“Stay home if you’re sick”

What would we do without them?

NUKE THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ILLEGAL, AND DEADLY CDC!!!!

We should stay home. But it’s ok for 10,000 illegals crossing the border everyday bringing exotic new diseases with them. No inoculations, no screenings for TB, nothing.

Hasn’t all normal people done this without being told!

Stay home if you’re sick

Unless you are crossing our borders ILLEGALLY. Then, Feliz Navidad!

There are some people that should take this advice. But they are already unteachable if they need to be told to keep their germs at home.

‘Stay home if you are sick.’

No chit Sherlock!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Wow,
Cover your mouth when you cough
Stay out of people’s personal space
Wash your hands after your business
Stay at home when you’re sick.

ALL OF WHICH I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN!!!

And insist on mail in voting.

The CDC is a corrupt and essentially useless organization that needs to be shut down. I wouldn’t take their advice on anything.

KMA, Mandy.

The only good result of the covid scam is that many people finally got it through their thick skulls that if they were sick, they should NOT go into the office to work.

Two years ago is was stay home if you’re not.

Why do you say that? Even more people are getting sick these days.

I am of the George Carlin school of thought. Your immunity system needs germs to practice on.

Back when people came to work sick, others kept their immunity systems razor sharp!

Yeah, nothing gets by them, does it?

[IYAS9YAS]

Wow. Sure glad we’re spending money on this idiot.

What she needs to do is to rebuild the credibility of thr CDC.
