AND NOW: COVID-19 CDC ANNOUNCES SWEEPING NEW GUIDANCE, INCLUDING FOR SCHOOLS, QUARANTINES

Editor's Note: SADLY it has become necessary to close this post to comments.  The continued demands for mandatory vaccination, boosters, mail-in voting,  and perpetual masking  everywhere by a handful of residents have made any proper discourse on this subject impossible here at the blog.

COVID-19: CDC Announces Sweeping New Guidance, Including For Schools, Quarantines---Federal health officials have announced sweeping new COVID-19 guidelines, including for schools and quarantines for those infected. In the updated guidance unveiled on Thursday, Aug. 11, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was no longer recommending that unvaccinated people quarantine after possibly being exposed to the virus.

Instead, the CDC said they should wear a high-quality mask for 10 days and get tested five days after they were exposed.

The agency had previously said unvaccinated people and those who haven't received their booster shots should quarantine for five days after exposure. The CDC is also no longer recommending that schools rely on test-to-stay policies, which allowed students who had close contact with COVID-19 to remain in class if they continued to test negative.

AND MEANWHILE BACK IN MAY....FDA: Americans Should Treat COVID-19 Like the Flu By Jack Phillips--May 8, 2022 Updated: May 9, 2022

It’s a departure from the rhetoric that was expressed by public health officials in 2020 and 2021. In late October 2020, for example, current White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci said that President Donald Trump’s comparisons to the flu were false, telling NBC at the time “it is not correct to say it’s the same as flu.”
