LATEST: The newly updated CDC guidelines don't require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky tells @GMA. abcn.ws/3401yEN
What she’s saying here is what we’ve been saying for almost two years — a positive PCR test doesn’t mean you’re infectious. Another instance of ‘crazy conspiracy theory misinformation’ being 100% completely true and admitted months after it matters.
So just in the last week or so, we’ve had the administration admit there’s no federal answer to covid, and that the PCR tests have some serious flaws. Can you feel the shift in the wind? Suddenly all the things that would get you banned from Twitter are being written about and spoke about by the ‘leaders’.
Change happens very slowly, then all at once.
This could also be in response to the lack of tests available at this time. If people are forced to test at the end of quarantine but can't, they might blame Brandon. This could simply be a way to get in front of the test shortage.
I have to admit, I've refreshed my browser multiple times and checked my eyes just to be sure they're not tricking me, but the CDC website tells me unequivocally that these recommendations apply "regardless of vaccination status." Shift in the wind, indeed!
