BEST OF THE WEB: CDC changes 'The Science' of Covid quarantine from 10 to 5 days after critically low staff numbers threaten industries
22Signs of the Times - Best of the Web / 23h
The CDC shortened its COVID-19 isolation recommendation to 5 days for asymptomatic people after some disease experts said 10 days was too long The CDC's 10-day isolation period was excessive, experts say. The agency also reduced quarantine guidance for people exposed to COVID-19. It was a steadfast rule for most of the pandemic: People with COVID-19 must isolate for 10 days after their symptoms st

Signs of the Times - Best of the Web / 34min

These are study findings, not raw data, so have been adjusted for various biases and confounders, making it harder to dismiss them as anomalous or skewed. The first is a pre-print study from Denmark, published on December 23

JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax / 15h
For anyone who is “vitamin’d-out” — ponder that the most important theme is not just about personally avoiding hospitalization (though that’s good), it’s about the screwed incentives in “modern healthcare”. Why aren’t first world hospitals and doctors doing these studies on cheap solutions? Where the hell are our publicly funded universities? Ask, “who benefits”? And Does our Minister for Health
It’s expensive to change the global climate, just ask the EU

If there was a sign of a major problem with energy policy it might look just like this: In the EU for most of the last ten years gas prices were €20. Last week they spiked to €180. Prices have come down in the last few days as a flotilla of 15 US tankers crosses the Atlantic to rescue the EU and some Russian troops departed from the border near Ukraine. Who needs gas?

Mashable / 3h
What's something that feels like good news, but probably isn't ? On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced new guidance around self-isolation for people who test positive to COVID-19 — namely, that they can do less of it.

Seven months ago, engineers stowed the James Webb Space Telescope's tennis-court-sized sunshield for the last time before it unfurls a million miles from Earth. They had rehearsed deploying it from soup to nuts three times. The first time they opened it, a cable ended up in the wrong place. The second time, some of the glue they used to keep the cable in line caused a mechanical clog. The third a

Signs of the Times / 3h
Up to one in three Covid patients may have caught the illness in hospital, official figures show - amid warnings over any use of data to justify new lockdown restrictions.
