Welcome to Level 7
"This is honestly one of the WORST guidelines the @CDCgov has ever written. It is purposefully vague & allows a myriad of loopholes & subjective interpretations— exactly the kind of stuff corp execs & politicians love."
⚠️BEYOND ANGRY—Lots of confusion on CDC’s new isolation guidelines— why? Because The CDC MADE THEM CONFUSING & VAGUE ON PURPOSE. Proponents claim it still has “some isolation” & still “some precautions”. But if you read actual guidelines (which are clear as mud)—see if you think…
5) Here is why the new CDC guidelines suck… it’s deliberately written to be vague and imprecise and/or subjective…. Complete abdication of CDC’s duty to public health.

16) CONFIRMATION... precisely as I said yesterday-- CDC based their new rule from shoddy data from California -- which again was enacted, checks notes... only on Jan 9th 2024 after the peak had passed! (see above why this is bullshit). I hate being right. but hopefully we can get…
I am devastated—I saw with my eyes what’s coming from CDC tomorrow. My sources told me on what their rationale is based. And based on what I know (epidemiologist for 20 years)—it is complete bullshit crafted on thin flimsy data. I can’t believe CDC has such incompetent leaders.🧵
6) it has been widely rumored and discussed among colleagues that CDC Director Mandy Cohen notoriously has a thin-skin and easily feels insecure when snubbed by political leaders and the WH especially. Also not a surprise—she is a widely-known personal appointee of WH COS Zients.
12) Oh, if you’re calling the CDC tomorrow to lodge your complaint — please direct complaints to these 3 key individuals 👇who are leading the media briefing.
Again, the toll free CDC phone number is +18002324636. The operator is supposed to write down your email and then type…
5) I want to reemphasize my message to the the majority of the hardworking dedicated CDC scientists & staff:
P.s. to my friends inside the CDC network—know that I respect you very much for your tireless work and efforts.🙏 The arc of the moral universe is long—but it does bend…

Answer.
1 - SARS-CoV-2
2 - Adenovirus
3 - AlphaCoronaviruses
4 - other BetaCoronoviruses.
5 - Influenza C (surprised me).
6 - RSV
This has been a mild flu season compared to last, but maybe we were just looking for the wrong one. They don't test for FluC (supposed to be mild).
One more round.
We've started a project where we are doing unbiased sequencing of the wastewater 'virome'.
Dec/Jan SARS-CoV-2 was the most common human RESPIRATORY virus detected, but what else was in the top 5?
Do you think you've had long-term GI problems since having Covid?
We are performing a study examining the characteristics of viruses, specifically persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections, in stool samples.

Oh hello. 🧐🔥
Now this is very interesting.
Very interesting.
A quick thread about sickness, absence, covid testing in the NHS, and trying to figure out what is going on when you don't have much data.
@LauraMiers Against my better judgement I signed up for TikTok. There are so many young people over there sick for months and everyone is clueless. I’ve never seen so many people talk about being sick for so long. Some say COVID others say they test - It’s a crazy world out there!
Like we are marching in a parade of premature death. We’re running the death triathlon. We’re swimming in a sea of death. We’re doing the death dance. We’re hiking Death Mountain. We’re spelunking in Death Cave. But everyone accepts it because the masses can’t afford not to.…
The New York Times published this article in June 2020, then we pretended it never happened.

Anytime you see people talking about what Covid is doing to LongCovid patients, please realize SARS-CoV-2 the virus is doing all of this in anyone who is getting Covid. LongCovid occurs in those who notice the damage & willingly connect it to their previous Covid infections.
Leaders used kids as hosts to spread imaginary herd immunity for COVID and now they are going to attempt to do this with measles.
This is fkn sick and completely insane
Teachers:
If even one student in your class is masking, it would probably mean so much to them if you wore a mask too. It’s a tiny way to make a huge impact for a child right now.
