The CDC is dropping the 5 day isolation requirement because they feel that the 2000 Americans dying every week from Covid is too small a number
This is America, let’s shoot for 4000 deaths a week

N95s and other respirators filter viruses via electrostatic forces
They aren’t sieves and they do

The Democratic ticket, no matter it looks like, has my vote BUT they ignored my prior vote and the will of millions of other voters and, sadly, acquiesced to big donors, media talking heads and a few has-been actors (talking to you George Clooney)
This had better be worth it
I'll respectfully disagree with my friend
@EricTopol
CDC does not have a "no isolation" guideline
Its guideline is to isolate until symptoms are clearly improving
In the paper Eric cites, there is another useful graph
It shows that as symptoms abate, so does infectious virus

we are in the throes of a big wave of Covid 🤮🤢
Would be nice to release those 2024-2025 vaccines now and not wait for some arbitrary date in August/September 💉😷
Selective outrage: When Governor Newsom does this, it’s woke politics but when DeathSantis burns books, suppresses blacks, takes Disney hostage, murders Floridians by denying vaccines and sensible policies he’s revered by the GQP
It took the Biebs over 2 years to retrain his face to work again and smile after Covid induced herpes zoster
Must be nice to not need to work during that time
For the rest of you, good luck paying for Covid related complications

For one, the one by the Sato group. Serum from JN.1 patients yielded a small response to KP.3.1.1. Don’t get me wrong, I’m full on Novavax given its lower side-effects but that single slide presented during the financial meeting needs to be confirmed
@BarryHunt008
Thank goodness the SA person was correct. Covid has morphed into a benign disease. For example, only ~30,000 Americans died in September and October. AND those deaths were very mild.
So Xshitter has a new policy. If you reply to someone and talk about (that virus) or the on-going pandemic, it will be labeled as ‘Possible Spam’
But rampant anti-science lies are ok

Do you know the aAmerican Dental Association has deemed it ok to not wear masks in their dental offices when in “common areas”. That’s the waiting rooms, bathrooms, check in areas. Because we all know that Covid only spreads in the exam room and not the common areas (sarcasm).
A tale of two cities: New Zealand sought to contain the virus while Sweden let it rip. Herd immunity remains an elusive myth and is not worth much in slowing fatalities

Huge irony here:
The woman believes in being cautious and is wearing an N95
The book is a hot mess about the intrepid physician fighting against the evil non-vaxxors and non-maskers
Yet, he’s signing, indoors, unmasked and taking unmasked selfies with other “Covid experts” 🙄
🚨 Experts can't agree on COVID vaccines! 🤷♂️ Some say get it, others say wait or skip it altogether. 😳 We're in a wave, shots protect us, and long COVID risks are real! 🤦♀️ Why not prioritize vaccines? The mixed messages are downright bizarre! 🤯💉

Ironically, his book discusses the dangers of anti-science. What is anti-science? Rejection of masks, tests, vaccines and clean-air for indoor spaces.
Looks like in this picture, Peter is 1 away from being an anti-sciences himself.
