Sudden spike! Genius. Still funny the tenth time I watched it.

To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues
Got some gunk going around my house as well. Runny nose, chills, and cough. The kiddo got it worse than I did, but still pretty mild. We’ve both had negative rapid tests, but haven’t done PCR yet since we’re pretty much holed up. My family bailed on traveling here and friend stuff has all been canceled due to the huge rise in cases.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

This isn't confusing at all.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shortened the recommended times that people should isolate when they’ve tested positive for Covid-19 from 10 days to five days if they don’t have symptoms – and if they wear a mask around others for at least five more days.
The CDC also shortened the recommended time for people to quarantine if they are exposed to the virus to a similar five days if they are vaccinated, and often to no time if they are boosted
“Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others,” the CDC said in a statement on Monday.
“The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after. Therefore, people who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.”
Quarantine refers to the time people stay away from others if they are exposed to a disease but not yet testing positive or showing symptoms.
CDC changed those recommendations, too. “For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) and not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days,” it said.
“Alternatively, if a 5-day quarantine is not feasible, it is imperative that an exposed person wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure. Individuals who have received their booster shot do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure. For all those exposed, best practice would also include a test for SARS-CoV-2 at day 5 after exposure. If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately quarantine until a negative test confirms symptoms are not attributable to COVID-19.”
I know this is complicated, but the guidance has to be as simple as possible.

You want simple--if you test positive or if you are exposed isolate for 10 days. The rest of us can follow the more complicated recommendations.
I believe the CDC's change is based on science--as they say--and on the disruption being caused by a lot of mild cases of omicron. Witness the airline shit show. As I understand it part of the reason was the depletion of hospital staff under the 10 day isolation rule. (Of course in the hospital everyone is wearing a mask anyway.)

It’s delightfully surprising that the cdc is keeping up…

Not sure what you're getting at. What I'm getting at is that if the CDC wants a policy that's a compromise between maximum safety and minimum disruption it will necessarily be complicated. If the CDC wanted a clear, very simple policy that required minimal reading it would necessarily be more restrictive--everyone who tests positive isolate for 10 days. While the CDC should do its best to explain its policies as clearly as possible I don't feel the policies themselves should be modified to make them simpler.

I think what ice is getting at is he posted something then realized he misinterpreted the original comment so his post was not on point and then went back and edited his original comment away. To top it off he’s publicly chastising himself for his mental error. He may have that disease, what’s it called?

Some experts suggest Omicron variant may have come from rats
