The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has given up advice placed on its online page through its parent company and now warn that other people who have had close contact with an inflamed user but do not have symptoms should be tested for the virus.
On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention overturned advice that others who have had close contact with an inflamed user with coronavirus do not want to be tested if they do not have symptoms.
The agency’s resolution comes after a widespread complaint from the board, as well as reports in the New York Times that the board came from people appointed by Trump’s management and ignored the agency’s same rigorous clinical scrutiny.
The Times reported Thursday that the directive was posted on the C. D. C. website. despite strong objections from its scientists.
The above wording, which warned that other asymptomatic people who had close contact with an inflamed user “don’t necessarily want proof,” now obviously tells them, “You want a test. “
Experts praised the update as consistent with studies that suggest that others without symptoms can transmit the virus to others.
“It’s seeing science and evidence take the top position for change,” said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories.

As Israelis prepare to celebrate the holiest days of the Jewish calendar under a new blockage, organizing prayer is more of a mathematical puzzle than a non-secular exercise.
Rabbis will have to organize the faithful into teams of 20 to 50, separated through dividers, calculating the length of teams based on complex calculations involving local infection rates and the number of inputs and square feet of their synagogues. Masks will be needed and many more seats will have to remain empty.
With the virus back on the rise, Israel has one of the few locations in the world to enter a moment of blockade. The regulations came into force on Friday, on the eve of Rosh Hashaná, the Jewish New Year.
The government has published a list of restrictions, such as a plet house of exemptions that many criticize as a form of confusion and non-compliance.
The atmosphere as the holidays approached was more desperate than happy.
“This is not the holiday we expected,” said Rabbi Kenneth Brander, president of Ohr Torah Stone, an Israeli-based Jewish education organization with emissaries around the world. “The fragility of life is upon us, but I see other people live up to the task. “
The three-week national closure has been scheduled to coincide with the holy days of Rosh Hashaná and Yom Kippur and the Sucot festival, hoping to cause less economic damage as the business slows down anyway during the holidays. relative foods that can become Petri plaques for the virus.
Israel controlled to restrict the spread of the virus in the spring, however, the number of cases, adjusted by population, has one of the highest in the world. The country has recorded more than 300 new cases shown consistent with another 100,000 people in beyond the week: more than double the rate of Spain, the most affected European country, and 4 times that of the United States.
The festival will also, of course, be transformed for jews outdoors in Israel. Throughout the United States, Jews wonder how to mark the wonderful feasts, historically a time to contemplate the themes of repentance, calculation, and renewal.
“There doesn’t seem to be a new year coming,” said Molly Tolsky of New York, who publishes Jewish feminist Hey Alma. “I don’t think anything’s going to replace in terms of the pandemic and our policy. I don’t feel refreshed. “
Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Thursday called on President Trump’s presidential crusade over the management of the coronavirus.
Appearing on CNN on a town hall-style occasion less than two weeks before the first presidential debate, Biden called the president a ruthless leader and rebuked Attorney General William P. Barr for suggesting that home maintenance mandates were the greatest risk to people. freedoms from slavery.
“What takes away his freedom is not being able to see his son, not being able to move to the football or baseball game, not being able to see his mom or dad in poor health in the hospital,” Biden said. failure of this president to deal with this virus, and he knew it. “
Biden noted the revelations in a new e-book through journalist Bob Woodward that the president had knowingly minimized the importance of the coronavirus, adding to his past warnings that Mr. Woodward Trump had politicized the deployment of a vaccine.
Biden also said he may not have a national mask order anywhere, breaking with a position he had taken a day earlier, but said he would have the strength to do so “on federal lands. “
In a statement, Tim Murtaugh, spokesman for the Trump campaign, said Biden has been the subject of a closer look at his plans and background on problems such as the economy.
Biden’s appearance, the most nationally important since he accepted the Democratic nomination last month, came the same night as Biden. Trump announced nearly $13 billion to farmers at an election rally in Wisconsin’s battlefield state.
Early Thursday, a former vice president’s security assistant Mike Pence backed Biden and accused Trump of radically mis-handling the reaction to the coronavirus crisis.
Former assistant Olivia Troye played a decisive role in the management of the White House Coronavirus Working Group until she left government last month. In an online ad, he claimed that he voted for Biden because he thought the country was in a “constitutional crisis” and that “at this point, it’s an off-the-holiday country. “
Pence responded from the White House, calling her a “disgruntled worker who made the decision to do politics in an election year. “
A vote by the most likely electorate published Friday, conducted through the New York Times and Siena College, found that Trump had jeopardized his own re-election and most of his party in the Senate. Republican lawmakers in very important states like Arizona, North. Carolina and Maine have lost their Democratic war games amid widespread disapproval of the president, according to the ballotArray
