The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday backed its week-old guidance halving COVID-19 isolation for people who test positive to five days and refused to add a testing mandate.
The agency had been pressured by health experts to institute a test requirement after it cut in half its guidance last week for people to isolate after a COVID-19 infection to five days from 10, but refused to do so. It said the move was based on science around transmission of the virus. On Tuesday, the CDC added an explanation on its website, saying that a review of 113 studies from 17 countries

Why does the CDC always refer to studies from Other countries? Oh that’s right, our CDC is full of politicians who are totally incapable of doing scientific studies. Their specialty is political science.

No test? CDC just pulled rug out from under little Tony Fauci’s latest “wish list” item.

The CDC can’t force you to do anything. They are not a legislative body. That’s why Biden tried to push a vax mandate down the throats of business owners. At this point they (and Fauci) are wasting their breath. The sheep have already surrendered and the rest of us won’t. Ever.

It seems "the sceince" even renowned phyusicians and scientists are not allowed to dispute is in a continuous state of changeL First no masks needed, then one mask, and then two masks are better; from no masks if you are outside, to no mask inside in restaurants as long as you are sitting down, but no masks in indoor or outdoor stadiums even though you are seated, to no masks if vaccinated, to one mask if vaccinated, to further vaccinating the vaccinated; from "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," the vaxxed can't get or spread the virus, to the vaxxed can be infected, which is why everyone needs to be vaccinated.
If the Republicans were in office, all of the above would be great fun for SNL, and the subject of savage ridicule by the media.

CDC admits that the PCR covid test cannot tell the difference between flu and covid.

The CDC is useless...no mask, one mask, 6 ft distance, 12 ft distance, stay home, don't go out, then one mask, 6 ft, 10 day quarantine, 5 day quarantine... they don't know Jack Sh(*....

About the only thing the CDC doesn't add to their daily pronouncements, is "except for polititians, elites, rioters and friends of the current administration!"

"doubles down on halving" ... that clever use of words seems out of character for DM. They probably 'borrowed' the phrase from somebody who actually has a brain.

If I had Covid and am now out of my quarantine period, why would I get another test? Per the CDC Director's comments last week, another Covid test within several months of having Covid will likely result in a positive Covid test (whether you still have Covid or not). With that in mind, why would Fauci ever think to suggest another test which he knows will show a non-infectious person still being positive. This will just delay people returning to a normal life for no reason. Fauci wants to take actions based on political control.

Have so-called leaders, at any point in history, been this inept?

Back in early November my wife got Covid (basically the same symptoms as a cold), and while I tested negative (I had it back in March 2020), I was kept away from physical therapy (for a broken wrist) for 20 days because I had to wait for her 10 days, then an additional 10 days because I refused to wear a mask in my own house and quarantine from her. So I lost 3 weeks of PT because of these bullspit, made up rules...and I was negative.

Imagine how the lying press would frame this if Trump was president. Kids and the elderly are dying in the streets because Trump failed to have enough tests on hand, despite claiming he had a secret plan to beat Covid in 100 days, and the politicized CDC is running cover for him by not requiring testing.
