    Ah, Dr. Fauci explains.

    It's about keeping society functioning.

        So to keep people from missing work we shortened the quarantine? Show me the math.

                      Same reason the NFL has shortened things up. The spectre of some really good teams getting whacked by ten day quarantines was too much to bear...It's all about the 💵 💵 💵

                              Science and our knowledge is constantly evolving, with the speed of this change increasing in todays modern time.

                              1000 years ago, the absolute smartest people who were alive at the time (probably considered geniuses) would for sure argue that the sun revolved around the earth. Does that make them stupid? Of course not. Based on the information and knowledge that they had at the time and previous knowledge people had, they made their best analyses.

                              I sometimes get the feeling that people think that scientists around the world are part of some secret conspiracy regarding COVID and the information the relay to the people. For the most part, information/restrictions/"mandates" around the world are pretty similar.

                              From countries with very liberal governments to those who are very authorityism , there is not much difference what the rules are in each country. (Or course there are some "outliers", but not too many).

                              So, to say that the US (for example) is "changing the rules" or "they dont know what they are talking about" seems to ignore that the rest of world is basically doing the same thing.

                              Things are evolving and there is an expectation in todays world for instantaneous action and response.

                              (YES, I UNDERSTAND IN THIS CASE, THE US SEEMS TO BE ALONE IN REDUCING THE QUARANTINE AMOUNT)

                                    Very little I agree with in Jolly’s posts. But the other day when he described this round of the C19 as a panepidemic of the vaccinated, he was dead on target.

                                    Open it up.
