WASHINGTON The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering changing its guidelines for self-isolation to make it easier for those who have been exposed to someone with the coronavirus to return to work if they are asymptomatic.
The public health agency, in conjunction with the White House coronavirus task force, is considering an announcement as soon as Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence said on Tuesday.
WTH? Scientists have consistently said people who are positive, yet asymptomatic, shed infectious virus!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Note: I altered headline.

(23,097 posts)They know these asymptomatic folks are infecting the rest of us and they want more people infected. How can they declare martial law if there aren't enough sick people and no commotion going on - they can't. So they have to make sure this happens, and the nations' deaths are exploding at voting time and this appears to be the current plan to accomplish that purpose.

And they know full well that exposed, positive, asymptomatic people can be quite infectious - even super spreaders!
If one's agenda is to kill as many people as possible, then this is a great strategy! 🤬

But - given the snippets I've seen from prior shows, the response will probably be, "You don't have to answer that, Tony. What a nasty question. Next."

Ms. Toad
(34,069 posts)nearly half of all people with the virus do not present with a fever, and you are in a position to infect others becuase you have so many contacts with then or their food, it is not a tough call.

(86,579 posts)maybe we should just not go back until some of our demands are met. First, cheetolini has to resign and no immunity to prosecution; McTurtle steps resigns from office; Pence resigns along with Cabinet and SCJ John Roberts.
An interim admin can be placed to oversee elections. Other remedial actions can be put in place for temporary operations but this has to end now and our power to just say no is to refuse to participate in their scheme.

(22,063 posts)The CDC knows better than this. tRump must be putting incredible pressure on them. They should just resign, rather than be complicit in infecting the rest of the country. Millions of deaths, instead of thousands.
This reminds me of the movie, 4th of July (not to trivialize anything), where the president asks the alien--"What do you want from us?" And the alien replies--"Die".

(33,956 posts)The fact that we will never believe any CDC guideline is there to protect us again.
They have completely failed healthcare workers in the name of profits.
We would rather be told, hey, this is what you need but this is what you have. Be as careful as you can instead of changing the guidelines to match what they have.
This is shameful and disgraceful.

(25,111 posts)the USA citizens in harms way, knowingly. Republicans are quiet. Do they realize that they are killing Republicans as well? Are they that stupid? Or they just don't give a shit.
Are they trying to reduce the population?
In the end, it's all about money and power.

(3,131 posts)Some of the best minds here at the White House are beginning to think about what recommendations will look like that we give to businesses, that we give to states, but it will all, I promise you, be informed on putting the health and well-being of the American people first, Pence said.
Not the best minds in the country but the White House. Kushner in other words but maybe Giuliani found another gig.
