Obama Health Advisor On CDC's New Shorter Isolation Period - The Beat - MSNBC (Original Post) Rhiannon12866 Dec 2021 OP
Shorter isolation is a horribly irresponsible rec, imo. SheltieLover Dec 2021 #1
That was my first thought, too! It must be because they're so short of health care workers. *sigh* Rhiannon12866 Dec 2021 #2
Nah, it's the airlines. Healthcare workers' isolation was already shortened! SheltieLover Dec 2021 #3
Yes, I was talking about that with my friend yesterday. Rhiannon12866 Dec 2021 #6
OMG! Is your friend ok? SheltieLover Dec 2021 #7
Oh, she's fine. But she was shocked and appalled - and said she'd never try that again. Rhiannon12866 Dec 2021 #8

Not only are overworked health care workers being traumatized by the unvaccinated, but so are flight attendants who attempt to enforce safety precautions. Who would want to put up with that?? I think I mentioned that a friend was attacked by fellow shoppers when she called out an anti-masker who took off the mask once they got past the mask checker at the entrance. We have a mask requirement here in New York, masks are required to enter any business, store, grocery, gas station, pharmacy, etc.

Other fellow anti-maskers came to the "defense" of the anti-masker and ganged up on my friend - who is a fairly small person.

Plenty of all necessities. No intention of going near maskholes anytime soon!
