The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on December 27 changed its guidance on isolation for people who have tested positive for COVID. Again. For the fifth time.
Previously people had to quarantine for 10 days; after the guidelines changed, that was reduced to five days.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, CDC chief, appeared to be reacting to pressure from industries facing staffing shorages, as she noted the societal impact of COVID.
Walensky stated that COVID now 'has the potential to impact all facets of our society' and the update was so people could 'safely continue their daily lives'.
On Wednesday the American Medical Association said that the new CDC rules were 'confusing' and unsafe.
They said a negative test should be required for ending isolation after a person tests positive for COVID-19.

We have reached the point where it's no longer a good idea to take anyone's advice on anything. Juss' sayin'...
The AMA is just as duplicitous and corrupt as the CDC. Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.
ReplyDeleteI'd say yay except for the fact that the AMA is just trying to reimpose tighter restrictions for financial gain.
