Avast ye landlubbers! California and Oregon be bucklin' under the weight o' Covid and changin' the C.D.C.'s rules!
2024-01-21
Arr, be it true, mateys! Two o' the most cautious lands be ignorin' the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They be lettin' students and workers with the foul virus, who show no symptoms, roam free instead o' bein' marooned! Aye, a curious choice indeed!
Arr, mateys! Shiver me timbers! It seems these two states be takin' their own path, slyly dodgin' the guidelines set by the CDC. While most folks be wary of the scurvy disease, these states be thinkin' outside the box, or should I say, outside the pirate's chest?
Picture this: ye be a student or a worker, and ye find yerself infected with the vile virus. But fear not, me hearties, for in these two states, ye won't be forced to walk the plank of isolation if ye be feelin' hale and hearty. No need to hide in the ship's hold, quarantined away from the rest of the crew. Instead, ye be free to roam the seven seas, spreading the invisible enemy as ye please.
Now, some landlubbers may argue that this bold move goes against the advice of the CDC, who be sworn to protect us all. But these states be havin' their reasons, it seems. They claim that those who show no symptoms be less likely to spread the disease, like a sly pirate who be stealin' treasure without leavin' any footprints.
But, me hearties, let's not forget the risk involved. Just 'cause ye don't be showin' symptoms, it don't mean ye don't carry the curse. For all we know, ye could be infectin' yer fellow shipmates with a sneeze or a cough, settin' off a chain reaction as swift as a cutlass through a sail.
So, as we navigate these treacherous waters, let us remember the wise words of the CDC and be mindful of the risks we take. And to those two rogue states, mayhaps it be time to reconsider yer plan and come back to the fold. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry, or in pirate speak, better to stay in the crow's nest than to walk the plank.
