CDC releasing new COVID guidelines as students head back to school

The nation's top public health agency on Thursday relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves if they come into close contact with an infected person.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said people no longer need to stay at least 6 feet away from others.

The changes, which come more than 2 1/2 years after the start of the pandemic, are driven by a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said.

“The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the last two years,” said the CDC's Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines.

This is stupid. My child has not missed a year of school. Only the last 6 wks in 2020 & the last 6 weeks of Elementary school is play time. After that it has been business as usual. Who did this to their children? Where? Why? Fools.
