I gotta ask, are vaccinated asymptomatic people contagious five days after a positive test?

If yes, this is a colossal mistake. If no, why is everyone getting upset?

My guess would be that the CDC really doesn�t know if they�re spreading or not, and so they�re just hoping they don�t spread it.

Maybe there really is good science behind it, but the CDC has made recommendations before that really weren�t supported. Like at the very beginning they told people they didn�t need masks because they wanted masks saved for the hospitals. Then they had to change course a few weeks later.

This just seems like a move to get people back to work faster, and also adds confusion. I�d rather the CDC play it safe because I just know this is going to lead to a bunch of unvaccinated people coming back too early because they misinterpreted the CDC recommendations.

I guess I�m just suspicious of how much evidence they have that asymptomatic aren�t really spreading after 5 days. I guess they have new info, but they went from 10 days to 5 days, which just seems at odds with everything that was being talked about for the last like 18 months.

I�d be less concerned if a lot of other countries were going this route, but I haven�t seen it yet. I think the WHO is still recommending 14 days of quarantine.

You know, it doesn�t help when The Delta CEO asks the CDC to cut quarantine guidelines and then they do it a week later. It�s just hard for me to take this recommendation seriously.

This map is kind of worthless without bed availability. Illinois is apocalyptic, and yea we�ve had a huge spike in cases, but we still have a ton of ventilators available, and we have about 12% of our ICU beds available. COVID patients are currently using like 40% of the ICU beds. We have over 50% of ventilators available.

It�s bad, but we�re not at �out of room�, which I guess I would associate with something apocalyptic. We really need cases to slow down though.

I have taken like 10 boxes to donate this week and it still seems like I have way too much poo poo. The real problem is all the poo poo my toddler got from Christmas.

It really is bad

I think next year I need to tell my family 2 gifts max or something. He must�ve gotten like 20 presents this year. We barely gave him anything ourselves. We even had a few presents bought that we are holding back for his birthday in a few months.

For someone like me that hates lots of clutter, it�s slowly driving me insane.

Anybody got recommendations for an engaging non-fiction book?

I normally just read depressing non-fiction but I just read a non-fiction novel for the first time in forever and guess what? Turns out reading for entertainment is awesome!!!

I liked Alone on the Ice. It�s a story of a guy in 1913 surviving in Antarctica after some accidents while he is out exploring. He has to trek back to his base camp alone for days.

Stuffed pasta isn�t that bad, but getting a good filling is important. If it�s really wet, it can cause the pasta to fall apart. Need to be really good about sealing all the edges too, otherwise the filling will come out.

I used to do pirogi parties before my kid came along. I�d make like 150 pirogies for a bunch of people. I got creative with some of the fillings. Your hands get a little dry at the end because of all the flour. Hopefully in a few years I can start back up.

I chased after a hit and run car today but my slow rear end couldn�t read the plate. Luckily a car was behind me and caught up with them and took the plate down.

Wife made chili and potato soup. Whole family over her to watch a movie (parents, sisters, wife, 3 nieces). Nieces are staying over night.

Best New Year�s ever

Just settled in to watch Return of the King. Wife and I both don�t have the energy to do much more after fighting with a toddler all day.
