Likewise waiting for a public announcement to correct the erroneous messaging that the unvaccinated who might have been exposed at last week's funeral need to get vaccinated ASAP. That is NOT established medical advice. They too need to isolate, not risk exposing the public further, observe whether they have any symptoms over the 10-14 days and notify the authorities accordingly, NOT rush out to stand in line with fellow unvaccinated who didn't attend the funeral.
April 7 = end of isolation period and potential resumption of office hours.
The maths seems to say so...
seems they all
Contradicting themselves even CDC.
People like these, including employers and supervisors and other persons of power and influence, are placing the general population at peril with their own selfish attitudes. Where is the #bvilove?
Love is putting the needs of others first, of making sacrifices for the greater good, and caring whether our actions hurt or help others. Until we realize that we need to shut up and sit down.... in isolation!
