The Left Goes Wild After Fauci Admits CDC Guideline Change Is About Economics – Opinion

The CDC reduced the recommended isolation time for people who have COVID from 10 to 5 days. This is a reduction of the period from the point you are tested positive if there are no symptoms. However, they recommend you keep your mask on for five more days. If after the five days of isolation, you have symptoms, they suggest that you still say home and don’t go out. Because science has shown that the most people become infected in the first two and third days of symptoms developing, they made the change.

The quarantine requirements were also altered after contact with a positive patient. Previously, if you were fully vaccinated, you didn’t have to quarantine. Now they are saying that you have to quarantine unless you have the booster — and only if you wear a mask in all situations for the next 10 days. It is interesting to note that the quarantine changes come shortly after Joe Biden made close contact about a week back with staffers. In response, Biden didn’t quarantine and didn’t wear a mask in all situations for 10 days.

The thing about cutting the requirements down to 10 days to five days is that it might make scientific sense, but I’m curious as to why they are only discovering this now, after going on almost two years of all this? Why didn’t they apply this before? This should be obvious. They say it’s that the decision is based on keeping things open because of the sheer number of people testing positive with Omicron.

Dr. Anthony Fauci made it clear on CNN that the move was at least in part political and economic, “to keep society running.”

I’m also curious as to why those important factors weren’t important enough to consider before — when small businesses were being shut down and people were losing their jobs. There were always other things to consider. Just before they didn’t seem to care and were willing to throw everything under the bus. Is it because they don’t want society to grind to a halt under Joe Biden?

What’s funny about this is that now the folks on the left are mad at Fauci and the government for making it so plain that it isn’t just about public health — that economics and the political factored into the decision. Many left-leaning people were angry at Fauci’s evil government for putting workers’ lives at risk.

But there’s corollary idiocy about this. Joe Biden continues to push mandates and claim that there is no federal remedy. While now they are talking about rushing people back to work, even if they are positive with COVID, they have kicked out — and are still trying to boot out — the unvaccinated who aren’t sick with a variety of mandates. All this is for “health” reasons, but without the economic impact on their jobs or them considered. Someone will have to show me why that is logical.
