Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 13/02/2024I think it's fair to point out that this change is unlikely to have much of a negative effect on hospitalizations and deaths because so few people have sick leave or test in the first place, but then why change the recommendations at all? 51322

(I don't mean this as a defense of CDC, just wondering what the marginal benefit of good public health messaging + public trust is) 130
