It is amazing how fast things can shift on the left side of my heart.
Would that just be their stubbornness in remaining the same? Either way, as reported by my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell on Monday, the CDC has announced it is shortening the recommended quarantine period for those who have tested positive for COVID-19 from 10 days to five. You’re right.
Given the current knowledge about COVID-19/the Omicron variant of COVID-19, CDC reduces the suggested time to isolate from COVID-19 patients to five days if the symptoms are not severe. Followed by five days wearing a mask if the patient is around others.
As RedState’s Nick Arama suggested earlier today, the decision did not sit well with the left at all.
Then, out trots Anthony Fauci on CNN — I know, right? — to agree with the CDC decision, and promptly make it worse for the left-wing loons, bless their bitter little hearts.
“The reason it is so high is the fact that there are so many new cases and we anticipate more with Omicron. One of the things that we want to watch is that there isn’t too many people out,” explained Dr. Anthony Fauci, explaining why CDC revised the Covid isolation guidelines. pic.twitter.com/g48XwcDdJh

Angry leftists then proceeded to break the internet as they threw their previous idol as far under the bus as they could throw him, with one lunatic calling for the “infectious and emerging diseases expert” — the hood ornament of the Democrat COVID car — to be “[i]ndicted for the mass murder of the working class.”
I haven’t seen rage like this since “Hang Mike Pence” trended on Twitter after Pence refused to take an unconstitutional action, but I digress. “Vehement disagreements” to follow in the comments section.
The left’s anger over reducing recommended isolation time was exacerbated by the change coming after Delta CEO Ed Bastian called on the CDC to make the change.
FYI: This change was made by the CDC after Delta Airlines’ multi-millionaire CEO asked.
CEO Ed Bastian’s annual bonus is tied to on-time performance, which has taken a huge hit because all of his staff are testing positive.
I suspect Delta Airlines have way more influence than they should because they are based in Atlanta (CDC hq)… Delta shouldn’t be able to lobby the CDC like this!!
Poor Twitter guys. It seems that they are a little too high-strung.

Jemele hill, Atlantic writer, was just as shocked.
[E]Every media outlet needs to mention that Delta CEO Ed Bastain requested the CDC to decrease the recommended quarantine period from 10 to 5 days for vaccinated persons due to workforce impacts. That’s not a health decision. It should be presented in this way by the media every time.
Hill is a COVID expert, as you all know.
To illustrate, the CDC recommended that every media outlet include Ed Bastain (Delta CEO) asking for a reduction in the quarantine period from 10 to 5 days for vaccinated persons due to workforce impacts. That’s not a health decision. It should be presented in this way by the media every time.

And what hyperbolic left-wing loon meltdown would be worth its weight in hilarity if at least one member of the Squad didn’t join the festivities? Rashida Tlaib took it upon herself, to understand what the CDC was. ReallyIts announcement.
[The CDC] is saying “we need people back to work quicker even if they are still sick.” Is this based on public health and science? Or is this in response to corporations like Delta who asked for shorter times?
Uh-huh. Rashida Tlaib pays about as much attention to science as Michael Moore pays to a nutrition label on a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
.@CDCgovThis is a statement that “we need people back at work faster even if their are still sick.” Are you responding to companies like Delta that asked for quicker turnaround times?
As Omicron cases grow, the decision to make this is taken. https://t.co/inCPt7MbNk https://t.co/UKtsr46gh8

“Hillary Fan” just went bottom line.
**Warning: strong language.”
“We won’t do shit to protect public health. Get out of control and spread the disease to others. You will also infect your family members when you get back. It’s what your boss told us he wants, so that’s what it’s gonna be.”

Oh, I almost forgot — the random dude who wants Fauci and the CDC to be indicted for mass murder:
Mass murder of the working classes was indicted. https://t.co/Asg4DLWqqU

The guy also includes these two quotes in his Twitter profile.
“Be as radical as reality.” — Lenin
“Capitalism will not inform the future of this planet.” — Angela Davis
Evidently, an intellectual.
And finally, according to “The Original Skin Doll” — a “blue-check,” no less — evil corporate America is now going to “weaponize” the new CDC guideline.
This is how employers will use this guideline. smh. https://t.co/XViyXBkbjU

You ‘spose this guy is aware that the Democrat Party and its sock puppets in the liberal media have weaponized COVID for nearly two years? Never mind. Silly question.
Finally, “Susan of Texas” was pretty cranky, as well.
Maybe you don’t believe me when I tell you that rich people kill you for money, but will you believe the rich people when they tell you? Because they couldn’t make it any more clear unless they shot you and took your wallet.
Ouch.

On and on it goes, but here’s the bottom line:
The left “embraces the science” only when the science embraces the left’s narrative. If it doesn’t, science should be dismissed, ignored, manipulated, dismissed, or plain-faced lying about it.
My course, “Understanding Liberals 101,” explains it, perfectly. Use of data, facts, logic, history and common sense. AnythingAny association with the Left will only cause confusion for anyone who dares to even try it.
Anyway, it will be interesting to observe the left’s treatment of the Little COVID King after he crawls out from under the bus.
