People who have had mild to moderate COVID-19 can come out of isolation after 10 days and don't need to be retested before going back to work, new CDC guidelines say.

People with severe COVID-19, many of whom are hospitalized, could be infectious for as long as 20 days, though most of them are not.

"While I would say that a completely asymptomatic patient is less likely to transmit the disease, they certainly can," Shapiro said.no confirmed cases of anyone being reinfected with COVID-19, CDC said. Reinfection is something immunologists and infectious disease researchers are all looking for, said Dr. Otto Yang, a professor of medicine and chief of infectious disease at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.Two things may be happening that make it look as if people are being reinfected, the CDC document said.

Very bad decision. Didn’t Europe experience teach nothing to you?

The CDC is no longer independent. It has now become a trump minion. Who do we trust? This administration is killing us all for some ego maniac trying to play president!

Ridiculous! How is it 10 now?

The cdc should just disband no one believes you anymore since Trump messed with you

What the hell is wrong with everyone? Get tested!! FFS!!!

DUMB AS ROCKS! Why do we keep taking steps backwards to save face, CDCgov ? Obviously this isn’t going to look good in the end... This is bioterrorism on your own people!!

What? In what country would this happen?!! Sick!

Anybody who wants a test can get a test

Although the apolitical nature of the CDC is now in question, this may be correct. Our (human) understanding of this virus is evolving daily and new and otherwise contradictory advice may represent an update in knowledge rather than political spin.

This is so wrong

It is going to take a long time for the CDC to regain its credibility.

No no no. These guidelines are bullshit. Go the full 14 days as we don’t yet have the full understanding of how this virus works so longer in isolation is better

This is as stupid as when early on they did not recommend masks.

No. This is stupid.

Man, if we could just get this down to 9.5 days; think of the mountains we could move!

CDC under Trump isn’t reliable. Can’t trust them

The CDC has lost all credibility. No thanks.

but.... why?

Amanda_Bril 🙄🙄🙄How will people know the difference between, mild, moderate and almost high, high, very high?

I don't believe it.

Begs the question.. exactly what changed, SPECIFICALLY, that was the genesis for this dramatic shift bc it smells awfully trumpian to anyone with a brain! CDC is no longer a reliable source for any medical direction, on any topic, from here forward, full stop!

Whatever... I don’t buy anything they say anymore. Just don’t get it, I wear my mask.

Ummm.... not sure they're doing science there anymore.

Only ten instead of 14? Is this based on science or trump

Everyone who backed the science data when this outbreak happened , will now say CDC is completely wrong on Thai and blame the administration. It’s a lose /lose

Fuck the CDC. Trump misinformation and lying propaganda. Americans can no longer trust the CDC.

That's because the labs are overwhelmed and can't get results in time. MORE Bulshit lies from the CDC. CDCLies

Sounds like this isn't near the big deal Democrats are making this. 99.7 survival and new easier guidelines.

Stupid cdc. No concept of life right now. White House is rolling them over. Pathetic.

Who trusts CDC anymore?

Yea because that 10 days would turn into 24 after waiting for the 2nd test results.

Ridiculous. They will spread it everywhere. These new recommendations are to benefit the economy, not safety of Americans.

The CDC is no longer a solid institution. Stop giving them credibility.

Good news for Mom Dad

🚫 No mask. 🗣 Absolute best statement about the dangers mentally and psychologically of mask mandates. Mask are a sinister agenda. Hat tip to this wise man. MaskRemovesOurHumanity

Herd immunity

Uh uh, the CDC has lost their credibility. All they're doing is trying to give Trump ammo for his agenda.

CDC guidelines as outlined and approved by the WH?

Sound perfect

I'm not buying it

That has been the protocol for HC workers for a long time. It’s been on their site since April.

ASlavitt thoughts?

Rumors have it that if 1 person in a household is tested positive all the people in the household are automatic added as positive and added to list of people tested and are positive for covid-19

Defund CDC. Abolish CDC.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Well that seems unscientific

hmm. now that the second test wont count as a positive for the state?
