The CDC doesn’t know the difference between their a-hole and their mouth.

Read another article that thinks they will settle at 10 days.

This is for exposure.

Instead of a 14 day quarantine, you probably can return to work/life after 7-10 days and a neg test because the likelihood you have covid is very low.

I think it’s a minimum of 10 days if you test positive are go 24 hours without symptoms but 14 days if you have a known exposer which doesn’t make sense to me

Yep follow the science and trust the scientists even though they change what they “think” weekly.

That's how science works...

Though I do dislike the "trust the science" overall messaging. Science is one piece of a larger complex puzzle.

The “sense” is that it takes a few days for the virus to start showing signs and another 10days to run its course. That is the thought process I believe.

They have known for a while that 97% to 98% of infections start within 10 or 11 days of exposure, but they wanted 99.999% regardless of costs.

There are also studies showing antibodies are around 5 months afterwards not 90 days.

SEC and others are still breaking their schools football teams making contract traced players sit 14 days including those who previously had it starting 91 days after their symptoms started or their sample taken for positive test.
