President Miguel Diaz-Canel PLZ build a time machine, go back in time, and convince Castro to nuke us. Someone kill Thatcher, too. There's no such thing as a society 🤡 clown shit.
So the guideline is to stay home until symptoms improve and then go ahead and be a plague rat after a day. Before it was 5 day quarantine once you caught it, right? I don't actually keep up with this stuff since it's all fake. Isn't the actual protocol 2 weeks since infection?
Why was the guidance updated?
We are in a different place with COVID-19 than we were.
We are in a different place with COVID-19 than we wereCOVID hasn’t mutated to become just a cold, the the only thing that’s changed is the desire of the Biden regime
The Centers for Disease Circulation says the time to quarantine is until whenever your boss wants.
I’m pretty sure 10 days is the real one they decided was too annoying and switched to 5. This fucking sucks I hate this country so much Joe Biden has killed more people with this virus than some of history’s greatest monsters
I was still testing positive at day 14 so if you ask me even that is on the risky side
10 days was the old suggestion, they lowered it to 5 because Delta asked nicely.
People got around the recommendations by not testing, but it's still a kick in the teeth for the cdc to officially endorse the spread of disease.
In other press statements they also pull an estimate for unnofficial flu deaths out of their ass to try and make them comparable to covid. Just complete absolute bullshit.
yeah tbh I feel like this doesn't change a whole lot, no one was staying home when they had covid anyway. And 5 days is already not nearly enough. Nonetheless it still sucks to see us head further in this direction - not that we all didn't see it coming.
Lots more people are about to lose sick days at work and be pressured into coming back to work while sick. So, back to normal. We've learned nothing.
Sometimes my cat sits and makes that joe Biden face and it cracks me up every time I see the emoji
My honest reaction when capitalists eventually act shocked when they finally can't get the line to go back up after profitability reaches all-time lows, agriculture is experiencing constant crop failures, most of the work force is disabled, physical laborers keep dying from heat stroke, immigrants keep getting deported, and no one can afford to have babies anymore
"Protect Yourself from Getting Sick:"
0 mention of masking
Token mention of "open a window"
You'd think maybe the CDC would know after 4 years that it's an aerosol but I guess that's asking too much from the
admin.Also,
The most important thing you can do to protect yourself from COVID-19, flu, and RSV is to stay up to date on your recommended vaccines.
We also have effective and widely available vaccines and treatment that work, but more than 95% of people hospitalized with COVID-19 this last season were not up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and most had not received antiviral treatment.
Along with staying up-to-date on your vaccines, practicing good hygiene by covering your coughs and sneezes, washing or sanitizing your hands often, and cleaning frequently touched surfaces can help.
COVID IS AIRBORNE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
Also, taking steps for cleaner air can help reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. This can mean bringing in fresh outside air by opening a window, purifying indoor air, or having outdoor social activities.
Like the only good thing is that they mentioned cleaning the air. But of course the onus is on us to clean our own air, God forbid they actually update our public infrastructure or force companies to ensure clean air. What am I supposed to do if I have to go to school? How do I get clean air there?
What am I supposed to do if I have to go to school? How do I get clean air there?
Clearly you're supposed to shop around in the marketplace until you find a school that is willing to clean the air. This is reasonable, neo-liberalism makes sense.
Go to work, make line go up.
You love it.
Sorry (not sorry) about your grandparents.
So what they're saying is to never trust any words from CDC with respect to COVID? got it.
Don't trust them, period. They were dong the same nonsense 40 years ago with AIDS.

that ship sailed in March 2020
"no need to wear masks. don't worry about using the subways"
Isn't the actual protocol 2 weeks since infection?
The science supports a 2 week quarantine, which is why that's what they said initially. However everyone in the CDC who at any point may have wanted to control a disease from a central location was either forced to leave or compromise with the political reality that the US was never going to implement that and neither were the employers who run most of our society, and the five day thing was rolled out instead. Now the new guidelines are here allegedly because nobody was following the previous ones, but of course they've neglected to answer the question of how they're going to get us to follow the new ones.
great, wonderful, i hope everyone with an iota of power at the CDC is brutally murdered
I've been lucky enough to avoid covid so far, but my understanding is the illness sometimes has an 'M' shape to it, like theres two peaks of severity and a valley where you feel better but not 100%. Seems like this guidance is encouraging people to go out and infect people during perioid?? you know what, it doesnt even matter. no one reads these anymore, no one gives a shit anymroe, why even bother putting out these statements? they do nothing. stupid ass plague rat country i hate it here
black-pill rant
I have somehow avoided getting it since the jump, and given how little the corps seem to care at this point. I sometimes kind of hope that somehow my entire department would catch a not place us in the hospital level version all at the same time. As it really feels that the "must slash as many workers as possible to make the most money" corps learned nothing from how badly the "just in time" setup falls apart if shit happens. Even though I have worked the entire time without getting sick, I feel like I (and my co-workers) have just been constantly punished for being well. Even when my department has seen massive churn from losing people so quickly (myself and my manager who was doing the same job as me before getting the title) are the only ones left from the start of things. And have seen at least four full cycles of people coming and going.
No one is given anything close to actual training, and when we do try to train them, we and they are just pulled in five other directions due to lack of workers in other departments. And the top leaders (the GM and other people right below GM) are the types to freak out if so much as two people stand next to each other and might be a line. Funny thing though is that they often pull people from the front check-out areas. So there are customers that walk up to the check-out and are just so confused as to how to even pay. The drive for artificially making the profit numbers higher needs to cause massive crashes soon. But they all just keep pushing for trying to copy the push for online sales above all else.
It is never enough, so I really really hope that their greed causes a cascade of failures. If they all want to punish us for even just showing up to work and can purge us at any time. Then I at least want to see the thing they care the most about fall harder. Their profits. I want to see C-suite, board members, and major share holders jump from their offices. And I want to see actual heads removed from those that don't. And I want to repeat their condescending speeches they gave/give to the workers when they speak of how "we all must make sacrifices." Would also be nice to force them to watch as we literally pour gas on stacks of money and light it on fire in their last moments.
