Last month the Center for Disease Control and Prevention made a controversial change to its testing guidelines for the global health crisis.
Initially, testing was recommended for anyone who had come in contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. The change removed this recommendation and noted that those without symptoms didn’t need to get tested, which sparked some controversy — including remarks from Disney Chairman Bob Iger.
The CDC has now revised the guidelines once more to return them to the original state. Now, testing is once again recommended for anyone who has been in contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19, regardless of symptoms.
It is unknown whether this comes in response to the controversy, a change in opinion from health professionals, or something else. Below, you can note Bob Iger’s response to the initial change.
This is more than disappointing. It is horrifying. https://t.co/woLIQBepy7

Once again this is just showing us that it’s not the medical experts calling the shots and making the recommendations but instead the loud mob that does not agree with their expert advice.
Totally gives me confidence in the CDC.

More proof the CDC is making up the “rules” as they go along, or to placate influential Leftists and their organizations. If you still believe the CDC has Americans’ best health interests in mind, you really need to turn off YOUR TV and start doing your own research and critical thinking.
Michael Ieyoub says
Don’t get tested. Period. Disney just wants to sell more masked.
Paul says
I wouldn’t expect this to affect Disney parks in any meaningful way.

Imagine a virus so deadly, you have to get tested to even know you have it.
Carolm says
Cdc is being pressured to say what the WH wants. It will get worse! 43 more days to vote.

DFB. An we please monitor the comments for politics?
The comments section is starting to look like the “Inside the Magic” comments section. I don’t come here to be preached to by political wannabes
