@CDCgov@fema If you are a close contact to someone who tests positive, CDC guidance is to quarantine for five days and then get tested. (1/
@CDCgov@fema The CDC guidance says if up to date on vaccinations, in lieu of quarantine: (1) wear a well fitting mask around others (2) avoid being around people who are at high risk?
@CDCgov@fema Furthermore, the CDC guidance specifies for a close contact: (1) 6 feet for 15 minutes over 24 hours is required for a close contact (2) after completing five days of isolation, a person is not considered a close contact.
This seems also irrational to me. (3/
@CDCgov@fema Given how many people are still positive on antigen tests 5 days after infection, how is declaring someone not a close contact after 5 days of isolation not irrational? (4/
@CDCgov@fema The avoid the vulnerable is very similar to focused protection that epitomized the disastrous Great Barrington Declaration which the Urgency of Normal follows. How is that not a grave public health mistake? (6/
@CDCgov@fema Given the high caserates, how is saying that wearing a well fitting mask is needed in lieu of quarantine or isolation appropriate? Should the message not be everyone should wear a well fitting mask given we have high transmission nationally? (7/
@CDCgov@fema And why is learning who is a contact and what to do emphasized? Why can’t we have contact tracers who help people quarantine and isolate? (8/
Can we get scientist to tell OSHA that @covidisairborne and we need this to be acknowledged to protect workers? Comments are due January 19, 2022. These @DropletDiaries need to stop.
They try to get OSHA to accept outdoor transmission, but instead of accepting the ventilation outdoors, and the reasoning behind it (#COVIDisAirborne), OSHA tries to find other reasons.
Trying to find support for #dropletdogma, the CDC says masks provide protection for respiratory droplets. But COVID spreads by aerosols.
