Essential workers who have been within 6 feet of a case of the virus can return to work under certain circumstances if they are not experiencing symptoms, the CDC says.

CDC has guidelines for essential workers

Fauci said he hoped the pandemic would prompt the U.S. to look at long-term investments in public health, specifically at the state and local level. Preparedness that was not in place in January needs to be in place if or when COVID-19 or another virus threatens the country. In Wuhan, the Chinese industrial city that first reported cases of the new coronavirus, authorities ended a 76-day lockdown Wednesday. Residents can travel in and out of the city without special authorization but must use a smartphone app showing they are healthy and have not been in recent contact with anyone confirmed to have the virus.

They can prove they were six feet or more away? GPS data?

Hmmm? Do we listen to our state the house is in lockdown or do we listen to the CDC?

Aren't most contagious people asymptomatic though? Meaning if you return to work you could be infected, not know it, and infect customers/coworkers?

Great plan. Just fucking great. 🙄

CDC is in the Executive Branch. And we know our Chief Executive wants business as usual. So, there really are no asymptomatic cases? Are, are not. Are, are not..... My daisy is out of petals.

We are just entering the peak period. The CDC must have been co-opted by Trump for this aligns with his Easter wish.

This is bizarre and sounds risky as hell.

Bullsh*t! That's how we got here!

Too bad we can’t test them first fail

Thanks for the warning! Now I will shop even less (already only in one store once a week), keep a larger social distance. It would be nice if we had enough tests to test people before allowing them back to work. Unfortunately, this crisis is being run by the trump failure team.

Social distancing is not an option for many of our essential workers 😞

This is just Trump trying to “reopen America”, the health of people be damned.

How about 7 feet?

CDC updates website to remove dosage guidance on drug touted by Georgia, Florida and TrumpThe CDC changed the language used to describe the guidelines for potential -- and controversial -- coronavirus therapeutics Tuesday. The updated guidance is shorter and no longer gives dosage information, details nor studies about the drug. It's only controversial because our President supports the use of it and you losers on the left/cnn hate him so much you would rather see people die than give it a shot. OH, DOES EVERYONE KNOW - THE SQUATTER IN THE W.H. IS PROFITING OFF THIS DRUG. THIS IS ILLEGAL (BUT WITH HIM - WHAT ELSE IS NEW?) ALSO, NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE M O R E PEOPLE KILLING THEMSELVES ON THIS DRUG. 'but he stressed the importance of doing clinical trials alongside use of the drug.' Isn't that happening? Seems you buried the lede at the very end.
