CDC GUIDANCE ABOUT COVID-19 FLIES IN THE FACE OF SCIENCE
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/health/coronavirus-testing-cdc.html
Several of our most important government agencies have fallen prey to anti-science populist politics and can no longer be trusted to sort through the information and tell us what to believe or trust. We need good-faith gatekeepers of information in this age of excessive and some false "speech" clouding every question. In this case the scientists (especially the ones that study infectious disease) are telling us that to contain this pandemic we need to test EVERYBODY and make sure that all the asymptomatic carriers are quarantined. The CDC just issued a report saying that we shouldn't be tested unless we have symptoms. This is what we have been doing, and it has resulted in nearly 200,000 dead in this country alone. If we continue with this method, and with the likely efficacy of vaccines being in the neighborhood of 50%, and with the likely avoidance of the vaccine by somewhere around 50% of the population, we can expect A MILLION DEAD in this country alone. So the CDC, in line with the authoritarian administration that has perverted it, is setting us up for an ongoing pandemic disaster. Best get some great time outdoors with friends this fall while the weather is still good, because when wintertime comes smart people will keep their indoor social circles tiny. TINY.
