I've mostly ignored CDC's advice, given how unrelated to emerging science and common sense it has been. Instead of smashing a square peg into a round hole, I wish they'd ONLY report the data and emerging science so people could at least make INFORMED choices.
It's mind boggling to me how many educated people think meh, it's just a cold.
There are so many SIMPLE things we could be doing to make this so much better for all.
Note to self. Continue to avoid the hoi polloi.
