With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.

CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.

Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.

#COVID is so much worse even than is recognized. And when you consider the accumulative impacts and pair that with societal responses and #climate change, well...

It ain't pretty.

In point of fact it is dire.

In running through that in detail with #Claude, it concluded there would be a likely 50-70% die off of humans globally by 2050.

That is how potentially bad. And that is likely an underestimate.
