Do you know what the actual guidance is or are you just assuming the purpose is to minimize individual transmission events? If a 10 day quarantine gets the R0 below 1 when imperfectly followed, it may well be the right number.

False. CDC guidance is still 14 days. Local health officials have the option of ten days. Go read the guidance before you cite the guidance.

Oh O.K..

Cool to know that biology works differently if your DPH is run by CHUDs.

At this point, hairs are being split so finely that we’d need a P100 filter to stop them.

E: so the answer is no, you haven’t actually read the CDC guidance

I think they're referring to.

quote:

Options to reduce quarantine
Reducing the length of quarantine may make it easier for people to quarantine by reducing the time they cannot work. A shorter quarantine period also can lessen stress on the public health system, especially when new infections are rapidly rising.

Your local public health authorities make the final decisions about how long quarantine should last, based on local conditions and needs. Follow the recommendations of your local public health department if you need to quarantine. Options they will consider include stopping quarantine

After day 10 without testing
After day 7 after receiving a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later)

This part, so while yes, the CDC guidance is 14, it's kinda weird to say "Hey, but you know your local health department can shorten it to 10." Which is kinda a weird thing to put in there.

You said the guidance was one thing and you were objectively wrong. That’s not splitting hairs, it’s black and white.

The CDC doesn’t make laws and can’t force a state or local DPH to do anything.

Is your beef that the CDC can’t enforce anything?

This part

I addressed that in the very post you quoted. Local public health officials can make their own calls but it’s right there in print multiple times: the CDC recommends 14 days.

Every single one of my friends with kids has had a COVID scare in their home, or has repeatedly had their child care disrupted, because workers at their daycare tested positive. In some cases, more than once. It makes me feel really, really glad I don’t have kids.

Also, with Cuomo opening up stadiums and indoor dining in Feb and weddings and such in March, right as new variants are starting to become entrenched in the US, I fear that we’re basically inviting vaccine resistance and more death at this point. This should be the time where we hunker down and hold what we got for the final push, not start to cast off the restrictions because some people are getting vaccinated (still too slowly despite the Biden administration’s push to get as many shots in arms as possible.)

All I'm saying is, if I wrote a guidance on drinking lovely water after a pipe breakage for the CDC I would probably write something like: "Bring water to a full rolling boil for at least 1 minute", I probably wouldn't give cover to health departments saying "Your local health departments might also tell you bring it just to a boil for about twenty seconds, and that's cool too." or at the least wouldn't mention what the health departments would say.

Also, the guidance isn’t that one single webpage. For example, states are supposed to follow certain criteria outlined by the CDC before opening schools. Whether or not they do isn’t up to the CDC.

The overall guidance in the bigger picture is that states will be able to make their own calls on quarantining and opening back up based on other criteria laid out by the CDC.

The issue is that states don’t give a poo poo.

but if you have 50 states divided into 64 jurisdictions, it is reasonable to think your boiling water guidance might need to be tweaked for someone who is across the country.

Meanwhile I, an "essential worker" who has been crammed into a classroom full of students since August, whose workplace has over a 25% adult infection rate, have been told that it'll be late March/early April before they get to us.

lol my base med group is only directing 10 days from the onset of symptoms. Not even 10 days after symptoms go away.

If a person is no longer symptomatic 10 days after their first symptoms, and they feel okay, then the med group directs them to return to duty at the squadron.

I told my sick lieutenant to hang out at home for a solid 14 days after her symptoms subsided, and that I'd cover down for her. Otherwise, she'd be back on the ops floor breathing the same recirculated air as 50 other people.

Thus far, nobody noticed that she was gone for a couple weeks longer than her quarantine order.
