CDC Publishes — Then Withdraws — Guidance On Aerosol Spread Of Coronavirus

The CDC briefly posted new guidance to its website stating that the coronavirus can commonly be transmitted through aerosol particles, which can be produced by activities like singing. Here, choristers wear face masks during a music festival in southwestern France in July.The CDC briefly posted new guidance to its website stating that the coronavirus can commonly be transmitted through aerosol particles, which can be produced by activities like singing.

The now-deleted updates were notable because so far the CDC has stopped short of saying that the virus is airborne. The agency says the guidance was a draft version of proposed changes that were posted in error to its website. The CDC says it is updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19, and that it will post updated language once that process is complete.

It continued:"These particles can be inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs and cause infection. This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads." The guidance also stated that these particles might travel further than six feet.the update as a long-overdue acknowledgement of accumulating evidence for how the virus transmits, particularly in indoor spaces.

Now the page has reverted to what it said before — that the virus spreads between people in close contact through respiratory droplets. The page makes no mention of aerosol transmission.

When I saw the guidance FINALLY posted, I thought: That only took 8 months to get that memo shared. Then they revoked it? Proof that realDonaldTrump is trying to DICTATE what science is shared with the American people. We've known since Feb. JoeBiden

Someone did something the Trump fascists didn’t like.

My brother in-law who is a microbiologist told me this in March.

Sorry only believing the WHO these days.

If it were aerosolized, they would have to shut down every school in America (it is aerosolized).

Government redaction at its finest...run just like the current presidency...with confusion, lies and unethical behavior.

The fact is that regardless of how common it is coronavirus IS able to be transmitted via the air. All this retraction BS is making people think it's not airborne at all! Which may be the point now that I think about it...

BS

Geeezzz. Enough with this.

🖕🏼

It's this Russian owned administration. 🤷‍♂️

WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE THERE.... shame on ALL OF YOU ...SHAME‼️‼️‼️

Don't you write hypothetical essays and just sit on them all the time? I wrote two today. One titled '7 NPR Contributors Found Impaled on Massive Horse Phallus. Motives Unclear' and the other 'Fake New Peddlers Jump Headfirst Into a Running Woodchipper'. Just for Funnsies

Hmmmmm.....

The entire system is corrupt. What’s left of our democracy is hanging by a thread.

Sure it was

Hey CDCgov , get your sh*t together.

CDC saves lives then stops saving lives. How do they live with themselves?

The CDC’s credibility rating runs neck and neck with the Nat. Enquirer. We are all on our own. Best for us to consult a witchdoctor.

SO WHAT? Why are you trying to make a big deal about it? FEAR MONGERING! FakeNewsMedia

What, you don’t want people to panic? FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️. CDC get your priorities straight— you’re undermining your credibility. Oh BTW- it fucking spreads through the air.

Trump doubling down on horse s hit rather than save American lives.

Believe breathing was one of their words. I’m through listening to the CDC science or any other politician not to mention all of media

Of course we have to make sure medical advice, drafts in this case, receive clearance after political review and suggested edits. No wonder the CDC confidence level has dropped in the past year…

'I wanted to always play it down,' Trump told Woodward in mid-March, CNN reported. 'I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic.'

I’m suspicious of their removal of the info...

I seriously doubt this is a case of mistakenly posting a draft. Website changes and all public-facing comms go through several levels of approval before they are released.

What? I even received that info via email. Did that unqualified goon take it down?

This is some scary shit.... I no longer trust this administrations 'CDC'

The older generations seem to have a higher propensity for ignoring science in favor of rumor mongering, heresay and anything else that will reinforce the things they want to believe that science won't confirm for them. It'll be interesting to see what history thinks of this era.

What an absolute fucking joke.

One of only two things can be logically concluded from this situation. 1)Politics became involved in public health and the trump administration didn’t want this known. 2)The trump administration is so inept that they don’t know the difference between a draft and a final report.

So someone from the White House has ordered them to take it down because it doesn't fit with the lies Trump has been spouting.

chavabell Mafia Don and his Crime Family control the CDC.

vote out this inept administration

Jesus, another example of trumps f’d up Administration. He has to go!

Liars for Trump.

Anyone who thinks the Trump administration isn’t playing politics with the health - and the economic well-being that depends on good public health info - of Americans Is sadly mistaken.

The CDC used to be a most respected organization - this all sounds like politics to me. They can’t be that incompetent

So what are they saying now? Never mind. Stay away from me.

So, the Trump Administration is continuing to strong arm and force the CDC to NOT tell us the truth.. This president has an ocean of blood on his hands... This virus is so dangerous AND AIRBORNE!!

Federal agencies are being forced to the change the truth so it matches the President's rhetoric. This is what they do in Russia. WearAMask WakeUpAmerica RussianRepublicans TrumpIsUnwell VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

It wasn’t posted In error. It’s the Trump administration meddling. Please stop spreading the govt.propaganda for them.

Starting to feel like my government doesn’t have my best interest at heart.

I don't believe it was an error. Wear a mask.

Looks like they don’t want to lose funding from China Joe and the Hoe

Another reason we STILL know nothing about this virus. Conflicting information from all sides!

Obviously its the scientists getting steam rolled again.

The White House needs to stop meddling with the science at the CDC.

Blurting is dangerous. And an extremely popular tool used by the left.

It's not a surprise if you don't do it in October! Different chunks of narrative and disinformation, cut and pasted, and queued up - ready to go

I don't trust the CDC anymore. Clearly this is a reaction to Trump getting angry about their recent stance on CV being spread by air, confirming what he said in the tapes. They've been corrupted by this WH!
