NIH now says at home tests may not work on omicron.
"Sick madness":
The public reacts to the CDC's decision to cut COVID-19 self-isolation time in half
The reasoning behind these modifications are rooted in economics perhaps more than science. Dr. Anthony Fauci — director of the National Ins ute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of President Biden's chief science advisers — recently told CNN's Jim Acosta that
"we want to get people back to the jobs, particularly the essential jobs, to keep society running smoothly."
studies show wide variations in how long people will remain contagious after developing COVID-19.
Some even wonder whether pressure from airline CEOs,
who worry that long self-isolation periods hurt their bottom line, could have motivated the CDC.
The CDC did not simply impose a blanket reduction in self-quarantining time for infected individuals.
The agency added that the rule only applies to people who do not exhibit symptoms and
are willing to wear a mask around others for at least five days after leaving isolation.
The agency also revised its self-quarantining guidelines for people who have merely been exposed to the virus;
partially vaccinated individuals are now asked to either isolate for five days and
then wear a mask around others for another five days, or
to wear a mask for all 10 days (if self-quarantining is not feasible).
"It's been glaringly obvious many of the CDC's recommendations are tied to [political] and economic concerns,
leaving the public confused/second guessing advice about masks, protocols, vaccines
while the anti-science sect sticks to singular (and horribly incorrect) messaging,"
"it will go down in the annals of the pandemic as a terrible horrible no good very bad politically/business-influenced decision that will endanger millions and squander public health trust!"
"Congrats to the Airline CEOs on being appointed head of @CDCgov,"
people who suspect the CDC is motivated by capitalism have good reason for doing so.
"In both Europe and the US, employers have frequently worked against [COVID-19] policies perceived by them to threaten profits,"
New Zealand and the People's Republic of China, where the influence of business interests was limited by ins utions committed to other social priorities (such as unions, left-wing parties and so on), they were better prepared to cope with the disease.
"I have pointed out repeatedly that countries that are best at containing the pandemic have a mandatory isolation policy of anybody who is exposed for two weeks — anybody who is exposed, much less infected,"
"If you're infected, you are isolated for a minimum of two weeks and sometimes three weeks.
So we are exceptional, and I think this is a grave mistake because the data that I've seen suggests that people who are either exposed or infected may be continually infectious for at least two weeks and possibly three.
This is a serious mistake."
It's getting hospital workers back to work.
And I think it's particularly dangerous thing for them personally, because they may suffer health consequences, and
they still may be infectious for their patients and their families.
So I think it's a big mistake."

Maybe I just had my omicron boost then
I wish there was a fully quan ative antibody test available so I could check. Quest & Labcorp only offer the ty antibody tests that Uncle Sam pays for.
Kidney Damage As A Result Of Coronavirus Infection
The developed scar tissue in the infected kidneys may suggest a possible impact on kidney outcomes in the long term.

and we don't know yet if mild omicron produces long covid, like mild delta does
Thats a lie
Joe said if you get the shot you wont get it.
did we criminalize drunk driving because people only like to get hit by sober drivers?
Fully vaccinated John Madden has died
RIP
Terrible analogy. Doesn't even make sense.
RT level propaganda...
I've been collecting data for the past hour. It appears the sun no longer exists.
Joe said everyone has an immune system that responds appropriately to vaccines?Thats a lie
Joe said if you get the shot you wont get it.
Great.
I guess that’s why it’s getting so cold.
When will we be beyond Jupiter’s orbit? Using your quick calculations...
Oh you are praying it’s so.
He was 85, must have been right Hater.
Probobably caught it on an airplane, eh?
Just watched the do entary about him. Its amazing he lived as long as he did.
He didn't fly.
Well thanks for ruining my primitive Hater trap...
makes a lot of sense, actually
sober drivers (vaccinated folk) and drunk drivers (unvaccinated) can both cause fatal accidents (spread covid). , its even possible for a sober driver to kill another sober driver (a vaccinated person can transmit covid to another vaccinated person)
but we dont accept drunk driving because it elevates the risk of fatal accidents (unvaccinated people are more likely to have and thereby spread covid)
we still accept some baseline level of risk that even sober drivers can cause accidents (vaccinated people can have and thereby spread covid)
Nope, still a terrible analogy.
