CDC backs off Omicron Numbers, alters quarantine guidelines

January 2, 2022 by 1 Comment

If you are mad at the new CDC guidelines you’re just admitting that up until this point you actually had faith in the CDC which is quite frankly embarrassing.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention severely revised its estimate of the prevalence of the Omicron variant on Tuesday.

Previously the CDC had estimated that as many as 73.2% of coronavirus cases nationwide were due to the Omicron variant on Dec. 18. The new estimate dials it down to 22.5% for the same date.

As of Dec. 25, the CDC estimates that Omicron accounts for 58.6% of coronavirus cases.

“There was a wide predictive interval posted in last week’s chart, in part because of the speed at which Omicron was increasing,” explained CDC spokesperson Jasmine Reed to Politico.

The revision came a day after the CDC also changed its guidance on isolation and quarantine recommendations for those who tested positive for the coronavirus. Previously to the revision on Monday, the CDC called for people to quarantine for ten days, but it has since said that 5 days would be sufficient. For those not exhibiting symptoms and being fully vaccinated, no isolation was necessary.
