@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?

This seems to me as irrational. (2/

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.
