A novel solution

The CDC has been seemingly unsure of how to direct the public with regards to airborne transmission novel coronavirus.  

Driving the news: The agency posted in a note on its website saying the guidance that acknowledged airborne transmission was only a draft, and had been published in error.

  • The update came months after scientists pushed for the agency to acknowledge the disease can spread through the air.
  • "CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted," the website now states.

Considering that they have previously been both for and against the general public wearing masks, that they had literally contaminated their first tests, and that they can't make a decision on the handling of asymptomatic people, one might just start to question if the CDC is not at least on some level being motivated by political reasons.  When I take into account Karl Denninger's analysis, that fecal contamination and NOT droplets are the primary transmission method, I tend to believe that the correct response to the whole situation should be simply more thorough hand-washing and more herd immunity building a la Sweden.  

And to anyone who would denigrate others as conspiracy theorists for doing their own research, well I think this meme just about says it all.
