"the CDC is acquiescing to the mistaken notion that a little bit of Covid can be contained."Explain to me how the CDC is wrong, and you correct. Cite a single country that has controlled Covid at a negligible level in the long term, while relaxing controls designed to prevent community spread. Regarding the isolation duration: Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, also argues that fully vaccinated people who test positive for Covid-19 should not have to isolate the full 10 days if they test negative in less than that time. Jha called for studies to be done to determine the exact time period for isolation while suggesting a five-to-seven day isolation window with a negative rapid test result. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/24/politics/cdc-updates-isolation-guidance-health-care-workers/index.html What do you think I did, from data that's been in plain sight. The only difference is that my data used the more sensitive PCR test rather than the less sensitive rapid tests. The PCR test will find an infectious person on or before the rapid test. Thus, a positive PCR test result might occur a day or two before the rapid test. Relying solely on negative rapid test results will allow Covid to escape isolation and into the community. |
