Here is CDC guidance on masks when dealing with the flu. It's only been with CCP Virus that they are trying to alter their position on masks. Likely due to political pressure--- https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/infectioncontrol/maskguidance.htm Unvaccinated Asymptomatic Persons, Including Those at High Risk for Influenza Complications No recommendation can be made at this time for mask use in the community by asymptomatic persons, including those at high risk for complications, to prevent exposure to influenza viruses. If unvaccinated high-risk persons decide to wear masks during periods of increased respiratory illness activity in the community, it is likely they will need to wear them any time they are in a public place and when they are around other household members.
Has he had a stroke maybe? Or does he still think influenza is not a specific virus family but a genetic term for any illness?
CDC: Coronavirus Fatality Rate 0.26%, 8-15x Lower than Estimates https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...but-at-least-8x-lower-than-initial-estimates/ Data from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that the novel coronavirus’s true fatality rate in the United States, which takes into account mild and asymptomatic cases, stands at 0.26 percent, about eight to 15 times lower than earlier mortality rate estimates of between two and four percent, which prompted the lockdowns.
This posting and story has given GWB pause. ---Unable to process that his narrative has not succeeded and is wrought with falsehoods.
Any rational person knows the claim is nonsense. Now we know that the Trump appointed CDC director is an idiot. Maybe the CDC director should start caring about our country's health instead of being a pimp for the the Trump administration's political agenda. Harvard says Covid-19 surge across South did not come from northern vacationers, as CDC director claims https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-...15-20-intl/h_9cc3fa536528a12ed76d809bd8d0413c Coronavirus cases are surging in the South because states reopened too soon, not because northerners traveled to Southern destinations over Memorial Day, the Harvard Global Health Institute asserted in a statement Wednesday The institute is pushing back against comments made by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Robert Redfield on Tuesday, blaming travelers from the north for the Southern surge. “Northerners are not the cause of big outbreaks in the south,” the Institute said in a statement. “What the states that are seeing large outbreaks have in common is that they relaxed COVID-19 regulations around the same time in May, leading to the surge of cases seen in early June.” The institute pointed to Virginia as an example, noting that the state remained in phase one of its reopening through the end of May and has, as a result, managed to contain the spread of coronavirus “significantly better than its neighbors.” Redfield, in an event Tuesday, said the early reopenings in May are not to blame for a spike in coronavirus cases in mid-June between the 12-16, saying instead, “we're of the view that there was something else that was the driver.” He suggested it was a result of travel over Memorial Day. “A lot of northerners decided to go South for vacations. The Southern groups had never really taken the mitigation steps that seriously, because they really didn't have an outbreak,” he said. That is not true, the Harvard Institute said. “That is not the case: In Southern states that are currently seeing large outbreaks, infections started rising around June 1st,” it countered. That was well before mid-June and too soon to blame Memorial Day travelers.
