       CDC says ‘at risk’ Healthcare personnel free to infect others un
       less they feel the symptoms!? Is that like Typhoid Mary?

       Masked man can’t help but interpret
       The following CDC’s Interim Guidance for Managing Healthcare
       Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 as
       simply against the Hippocratic oath and simply against
       everything we know about epidomolgy and and against everything
       we know  about preventing airborne illness and airborne
       infections from occurring in a high risk environment such as in
       healthcare environment…
       SUMMARY:
       Interim Guidance for Managing Healthcare Personnel with
       SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to SARS-CoV-2
       “In general, asymptomatic healthcare personnel (HCP) who have
       had a higher-risk exposure do not require work restriction,
       regardless of vaccination status, if they do not develop
       symptoms or test positive for SARS-CoV-2”

       COMMENT:
       Readers please correct me if I am wrong here but is the CDC
       recommending at risk healthcare personnel who are exposed to
       covid to feel free to infect others? Is it my imagination or is
       the CDC recommending healthcare personal who are exposed to
       covid simply expose themselves to patients and coworkers and
       family!? Am i reading this “Interim Guidance for Managing
       Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection” correctly? Is
       this but a figment of my imagination or is the CDC recommending
       healthcare personal who are exposed to covid simply proceed with
       no precautions whatsoever to protect the spread of this disease?
       Is this for real?do Healthcare care personnel even test
       regularly and even if they did is that enough to protect one
       another?
       So ultimately even if a healthcare personel was exposed and
       works with a patient who has covid so long as they say they feel
       okay they don’t have to do anything to protect others from this
       disease.. no precautions whatsoever? .. feel free to infect
       whoever they want? Basically are people in healthcare allowed to
       expose themselves and one another to covid all they want?
       Now if the healthcare personel actually feels bad or actually
       admit to symptoms then they might lose a week or so of work!?
       Basically according to the CDC's Interim Guidance, it’s up to
       how the healthcare personal ‘feels’ personally whether they give
       this disease which is primarily asymptomatic anyway to our loved
       ones and patients.
       If healthcare personel  don’t ‘feel’ the asymptomatic symptoms
       then they are free to infect whoever they want. They are going
       by ‘feel’ with covid.
       That’s my understanding of Interim Guidance for Managing
       Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to
       SARS-CoV-2
       Again correct me if I am wrong but it sounds to me like total
       lack of acknowledgement to the science behind airborne Illness
       and disease  and how they are transmitted and a total lack of
       precautions to prevent the spread of these illnesses and
       diseases in an everyday high risk environment.
       Dear healthcare  personnel,
       We prefer you wear a mask for us if that’s alright,
       The Masked Man
       P.S. why wouldn’t the CDC try to protect Healthcare personnel
       from getting infected by patients in a high risk exposure
       environment area? Don’t healthcare personnel who expose
       themselves to covid have families they want to protect as well?
       Can’t help but wonder how many people including nurses and
       doctors have been infected with covid simply because of the lack
       of guidance suggested in the Interim Guidance for Managing
       Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to
       SARS-CoV-2.
       I guess science is all about Cause and effect and that only
       exists in medical school and outside medical school it all
       depends on how each individual  ‘feels’ insofar as if they are
       sick or not during outbreaks of they take the necessary steps to
       really protect one another with masks or what have you. They are
       playing by ‘feel’ in the medical care world. I guess healthcare
       facilities don’t have an electron microscope handy so they don’t
       have to acknowledge the microscopic entities at play unless
       actually the ‘feel’ the particulates are circulating.
       So according to CDC: Covid isn’t a threat in healthcare
       environment unless some body starts to ‘feel’ bad where they
       work even while they exposed themselves and others  to covid.
       Talk about Typhoid Mary!
       That’s my interpretation of the “CDC’s Interim Guidance for
       Managing Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or
       Exposure to SARS-CoV-2“
       “Speaking to MedPage Today, the former director of the National
       Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci, explained
       he became infected with the disease for the third time in July.
       The illness, he said, came despite being vaccinated and boosted
       six times.
       Aug 13, 2024”
       Even so in 2024 Fauci urges at-risk people to keep masking to
       prevent COVID-19: 'Take this seriously'
       So I guess Fauci didn’t write and doesn’t really believe in the
       the CDC’s Interim Guidance for Managing Healthcare Personnel
       with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
       Fauci urges at-risk people to keep masking to prevent COVID-19
       You have to respect a guy that has the integrity to advise
       people to mask and be as honest abut the risks involved as Fauci
       is. Of course his simple cloth covering was a bit skimpy and not
       as effective as the n95 mask. Of course N95 masks and respirator
       type masks have been around long before covid.
       I urge everybody to wear a mask especially healthcare personnel
       and I haven’t had  covid three, two or even one time so ideally
       I should be the one to advise and suggest simply for that reason
       alone.
       Fair enough for you that a guy that never went to medical school
       yet hasn’t caught an airborne illness or airborne disease in six
       years straight should be the one to  make recommendations that
       healthcare personnel should mask so as not not to catch and
       transmit airborne illnesses and airborne diseases?
