Just CDC bowing to Trump admin pressure to make numbers look politically more convenient, even if it's bad public health policy.

Well done! Now others need to follow their leads.
Good for them. That is exactly who should be making that call - the governor of each state. The CDC issues advise and guidelines but ultimately the governor of each state must decide what will best serve his or her people. What is good and/appropriate for a state with heavy population centers, like California or New York, might be the worst option for a state like Wyoming, Arkansas, Vermont, or Idaho.

Yup. Keep everything open, wear your mask, and you’ll be fine. Sweden is rightfully laughing at all of America right now.

The numbers can go up and down, but the 99% survival rate will remain constant.

It is funny how no one can remember that when they blame Trump for everything to do with the virus

That is because Trump forced the change in amounts of testing. This is all over the place. I said it earlier today with no proof but my gut said Trump was involved. I didn't make the virus response political Trump did. You and Trump continue to politicize it, not me.

If you think that the old CDC guidelines are sound, practical and productive then get yourself tested every week because that’s how often you’ll probably come in contact with a positive case except if you’re locked in your house for months

So now people are allowed to disagree with doctors when they don't fit their political narrative?

The CDC are the experts. The same ones the lefties said we must listen to before.

No proof of anything in any of those links. We need to listen to the CDC health experts.
