-Dr. Jerome Adams criticized the CDC's decision to cut the isolation time from 10 days to five days.
-The change is for people who have tested positive for the coronavirus but remain asymptomatic.
-Adams said infected people should secure an antigen test and wait for a negative result.
"Regardless of what CDC says, you really should try to obtain an antigen test (I know - easier said than done) and confirm it's negative prior to leaving isolation and quarantine. There's not a scientist or doctor I've met yet who wouldn't do this for themselves/their family," he tweeted.
"Many who are defending/championing this policy on TV have told me privately if it were their family/workplace, they would want a 'test out' of isolation policy.
"I love the CDC. Grew up wanting to work there and have been one of their most ardent defenders. I never dreamed the day would come when I would advise people NOT to follow their guidance. But ask any of them. They wouldn't even follow it for their own family," he added.
This new CDC guidance isn't about the best science — it's a compromise to keep the economy open in the face of inadequate tests," he added.

Now, President Biden's administration is actually implementing a policy change that INCREASES person-to-person transmission of the Covid-19 disease, in order to prevent slowing the economy, due to infected individuals staying away from the job, while the virus/disease runs its course.

You know, while I'm not happy with my job now, I know that it was the best place for me, during all this.
From Day One, no masks if you didn't want to. Not one of the government rules had to be followed, UNLESS you wanted to.
Yes, we ended up with covid around Christmas last year. But they were awesome, and paid us for the sick time, and took care of us.
Thankfully, every dang one of us survived, and thrived.

Look, I am the last person that would ever defend something Brandon does.
But maybe his team (because I don't believe he is making any decisions) realizes, that the average joe, is done with this crap.
I work in the agriculture industry.
People aren't testing. People aren't quarantining. Heck, we just had a guy drive to NY for Christmas vacation. He sure didn't.
