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.

1. They are killing us for profits for the rich and this is the proof.

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.

[SheltieLover]

2. I believe so too

Not killing Americans quickly enough to please putin! 🤬🤬🤬

[TheBlackAdder]

3. How best to seize people's assets than after death.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Eh. WTF?!

TESTS!!!!

[SheltieLover]

5. What tests?

They are deliberately attempting to murder people! 🤬

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. I'm just saying that that's what they NEED to be doing to make this work

[SheltieLover]

8. Oh, I know

I'm sorry if my reply came across in an offensive way. I couldn't agree with you more!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. No problem

The way I responded probably seemed confusing.

[SheltieLover]

22. My reply was sarcasm. My bad, I should have noted as such.

[Ms. Toad]

7. The new policy is aimed in particular at workers in critical jobs.

You know, like those who touch your food, or take care of people in the hospital because of a car accident . . .

Not Smart.

[SheltieLover]

12. No, it's not smart, but that depends upon one's agenda

They know better! NEJM states only 43.8% present with fever!

[link:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032|

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! 🤬

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. The CDC is officially going to the dogs

I would LOVE to see what Dr Fauci has to say about this. Did he have anything to say noteworthy at yesterday's daily s**tshow?

[Ms. Toad]

15. I haven't watched the daily s**tshow.

Ever.

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."

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Yeah, probably

Our country is an embarrassing, hollow shell of its once former self

[brewens]

26. It is a tough call however they work it. Those in critical jobs are more at risk if they are short

staffed and overworked. I'd say keep looking at it and make sure and get it right. I'm afraid all the pressure is on getting them back on the job though. I

[Ms. Toad]

32. Sorry, but when you are contagious days before you show symptoms,

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.

[SheltieLover]

9. Per NEJM only 43.8% present with fever!

[link:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032|

THEY KNOW BETTER! 🤬🤬🤬

[2naSalit]

11. Since we're already shut down...

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.

[Bayard]

14. That's insane

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".

[SheltieLover]

17. Indeed!

I've never seen the movie, but I believe the alien is putin pulling the strings! 🤬

[tblue37]

33. Data (the Brent Sooner character) asks that question, not the pres. nt

[catsudon]

18. does the cdc

take advise from the corrupted WHO too?

[SheltieLover]

20. Is WHO recommending to go to work after exposure?

I don't think so. Haven't read that.😳

[uponit7771]

19. Wisconsin was a trial run

[SheltieLover]

23. Yes. "We can't make them stay home; better kill them"

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[uponit7771]

34. +1, or reduce the urban areas numbers to zilch

[Hugin]

21. There is no sacrifice the Trumpanzees are unwilling to make for the gawds of...

Reelection! (AKA: The High Dow)

Especially, if it's not them and it consists mainly of the old, frail, and PoC. Y'know, the libtards.

This won't end well.

[SheltieLover]

24. No, it won't

Chilling thought, but I wonder if he is pushing lupus drugvbecause of potential for heart attacks in those predisposed & I believe I read that AA men are at the highest risk for heart disease. 🤬

[Horse with no Name]

25. A fellow RN and I were discussing

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.

[SheltieLover]

28. I concur!

Beyond shameful! They belong in prison withb dump for lying to us!

[Iliyah]

27. This administration under shithole is dangerously putting . . .

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.

[SheltieLover]

29. Putin's wishes must be fulfilled

At any cost!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[area51]

36. "Are they trying to reduce the population?"

This is what I've been wondering.

[Baclava]

30. The IWF? Infected workers party?

[SheltieLover]

31. Apparently thats what they are going fir here!

🤬

[Midnightwalk]

35. Best minds?!?

“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.
