Oh? You can return to work even without a test showing you're no longer covid-positive?
That's a hell of change, isn't it?
Not to worry, the CDC's Rachel Wallensky says: This is a change based entirely on The Science, which we just discovered after two years.
And oh yeah. Joes polling extremely poorly on handling the economy.
THE SCIENCE.
The newly updated CDC guidelines don't require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told "Good Morning America" Wednesday.
"So we would have people in isolation for a very long time if we were relying on PCRs," Walensky said.
So people have been testing themselves with these PCR tests post-initial diagnosis for two years and this has been yielding false positives for up to 12 weeks post-infection, and no one bothered to say so until now?
What's really going on here?
Oh, right: "The Science" is lying to us again. Or rather, The Politics: Brandon dropped the ball on ordering up an adequate supply of tests, and now we don't have enough tests to test all the people who are about to get omicron.
So the CDC says tests aren’t required.
And that's "The Science" in action!
They're inventing made-up "science" to Manage Public Relations and to Reassure the Public that Brandon Knows What He's Doing.
Public Relations -- the highest form of The Science!
