Not according to their website. Their take on smear transmission seems pretty reasonable but I’m sure you’ll have a 50,000 word screed on how clearly they’re all incompetent liars:
Right, any time they slightly update their guidelines, it’s because they’re incompetent morons. Not that they’re studying a brand new disease and the science is evolving, no, they want you to get sick and no one should ever listen to them.
You really couldn’t pay me enough to work for the CDC. Imagine spending a career and possibly risking your health trying to stop these bugs and the moment the shit hits the fan hysterical people on the right and the left want to fucking burn you at the stake. I’d walk out on day one, you guys already have all the answers, gl.
Your “simple points” are long posts full of completely baseless attacks on a set of experts far more informed than you are.
Fomite transmission doesn’t make much sense for a respiratory virus. The recommendations make sense with my experience (if fomite transmission was significant I would have been fucked) and with how respiratory viruses normally work.
3ft makes sense for people who are masked as well. Again, masked.
The idea that the CDC, which is a very conservative in nature, is playing cowboy here is based on nothing. The fact that someone can’t explain exactly what data the CDC is using to you (or in my case, someone who isn’t willing to do a research paper for you) isn’t evidence of their incompetence. It’s far more likely that you just don’t understand what’s going on.
Y’all I’ve been in closer quarters with someone who had covid for longer periods than all of you combined. While I was always in a N95 in patients rooms with COVID, I’ve spent tons of time with colleagues who ended up having covid and patients who randomly had covid with a simple mask, well within 3 feet.
I realize that is far from some gold standard evidence, but declaring something wrong usually requires some sort of evidence behind it, and I’ve yet to see anyone demonstrably take this recommendation down.
Sorry, but there’s no other way to describe you here. ~1 year ago the CDC said smear transmission is low probability but you should still wash your hands and disinfect surfaces and you threw a fit. Now they’re saying, based on new data, that it’s probably not a huge problem but you should still wash your hands and disinfect surfaces and you’re still throwing a fit. Just stop listening to CDC guidelines if they make you so pissed.
I’m just still in shock that proper credit isn’t being given to the organization that kicked off the pandemic by telling people they didn’t need to mask up. Y’all should be ashamed
feels like i did have delayed vax reaction, mine was 6 days later, while range for moderna could be 4-11, according to extensive internets research. weird armpit pain still there. no chills or headache today though. if dose 2 is worse, i’ll be kicking myself for not hydrating.
I kind of suspected I got a really bad cold from it. Like a week after my 2nd shot I was super congested, thought I had covid. I wasn’t around ANYONE besides the grocery store double masked and distanced. Mom didn’t get sick. I couldn’t think of anything else.
