contact. is that still the case? really what this is about is contact tracing and identifying those that are at highest risk for high risk exposure. so we know that people in close proximity for a long duration of time will have a higher risk of acquiring covid. so for the sake of contract tracing we identify people that should quarantine because they had a high risk exposure. but it seems very finite and absolute and there is no invisible wall at six feet and 15 minutes where the disease was suddenly totally goes away. so we need to explain this as a risk. that being the highest risk, but if you re still in the same room as another person for 14 minutes, and 7 feet, it could still be risky. right. so jessica, now i m going to you. two doses equally fully vaccinated. does that still hold? yeah, again, there is a lot of knew aps that is missing here and what fully vaccinated
the headlines of more omicron focused boosters that are coming possibly if the fall. but right now the general population is only encouraged to get one booster. great. sassia, now to you. five days equals the end of isolation. is that true? i think that is a really interesting proxy for us to test people. and jessica and i probably have said time and time again online, it is really not a great concept to say you re either infectious or not infectious with no testing. so five days was a strategy for those fully vaccinated and more likely to be infectious within that time frame but the binary thinking helps us identify those at highest risk but it doesn t inherently mean a risk itself is binary. meaning it is a spectrum. so at five days you should test if you re negative that is a good indicator you re at the tail end of being able to spread it but there that doesn t mean there is zero risk to those around you which is why the cdc said even if you can leave
