The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to shift its Covid-19 isolation guidance this spring to say that people no longer need to isolate once they have been fever-free for 24 hours and their symptoms are mild or improving, according to the Washington Post.

“We will continue to make decisions based on the best evidence and science to keep communities healthy and safe,” said Dave Daigle, a spokesperson for the CDC.

Since 2021, the agency has said people should isolate for at least five days if they tested positive for Covid-19, and then continue to mask. The updated guidance would bring Covid-19 in line with guidance for other respiratory viruses, such as flu.

"Feeling sick? Eat shit. Everyone is sick. No one cares, go back to work. Fuck you. This country doesn't make money if your at home recovering you lazy fuck face baby" CDC director Mandy K. Cohen, was reported to have said. "oh, woah is me, i got a widdle cold" she continued, while pantomiming crying.

      Yeah, that’s how we are too, if we have to go out we mask indoors. I’ve had it once, my wife twice. Still not sure how I avoided it the second time, but we are really trying our best to avoid it at all costs because we are already immunocompromised. It’s really really hard to keep having to tell people we aren’t comfortable going back to normal, they don’t seem to understand unless we spill the beans on our personal medical situations, which we shouldn’t have to do just to get respect for our position.
