re: So with the Hospitalizations Plummeting and 70+ Group Vaccinated, JBE’s Next Move?

So it’s your opinion

Nothing I stated was an opinion. It’s all based on data and scientific principle.

and what I stated was the actual guidance.

The CDC guidance is based on the initial trials that didn’t study transmission. They aren’t changing guidelines until results are shown. That is a far cry from “vaccines don’t reduce transmission.”

Could that also be related to people with minor symptoms to no symptoms are much less likely to spread the illness?

---

So lower viral loads reduce transmission ... quite literally what I already said.

So, if you never get sick, and your viral load stays so low it doesn’t show up on a test and prevents you from spreading it, it keeps you from “catching” the virus in the sense of the word we have always used it as

If it doesn't show up on a test how would you know if you have it?

Also...how can people still testing positive after their 14 day quarantine be allowed back into society because they are being told they are "just shedding dead cells...nothing to worry about"

Easter is canceled.

Spring Break is canceled.

Memorial Day is canceled.

4th of July is canceled.

Since my company still requires a negative test to return to work, I had a co-worker tested positive once a week for six weeks straight and never had single symptom.

A vaccinated person is at a much lower risk of catching COVID 19

A vaccinated person is much less likely to spread COVID 19 to a non vaccinated person

A non vaccinated person can spread COVID 19 to a vaccinated person but the risk of actual contraction is very low

A vaccinated person is less at risk for catching and spreading COVID 19

Nothing in the world is binary. This simplistic line of thinking is absurd. No vaccine has a 100% effective rate, yet we have eradicated deadly viruses nonetheless.

Exactly

Hence why the vaccine absolutely does help prevent you from “catching” the virus

I say we just assume everyone either already had the virus, currently has the virus, will eventually get the virus.....whether they are/were symptomatic or asymptomatic

Is that fair to say?

No one will test positive for co

Where does it say that?

Lol the left said there is no such thing as viral load.

Well that’s just stupid on your company cause it’s well known by now that you can potentially test positive for 90 days after you initially had it. Doesn’t mean you are infectious that whole time. CDC has said for a very long time now retesting until negative is not recommended. Isolate for 10 days after start of symptoms (or positive test if no symptoms) with at least 24-72 hours free of fever and no worsening symptoms. If you have certain medical conditions or required a hospital stay with oxygen ...extend that isolation to 20 days after start of symptoms with 24-72 hours free of fever and no worsening symptoms. No need to retest.

The test can only detect the presence of the virus. It can’t differentiate between live (infectious) virus and dead virus (non infectious) that you are still shedding.

It's called covering your arse.

Can you imaging the uproar is someone testing positive (even if they weren't contagious) came into the office and then other people tested positive?
