If we're going to go as far as to say that masks are required -- when we don't come from a mask-wearing culture and people don't like wearing masks -- at least recommend that they wear the most effective mask.

If all you have is a cloth mask, it's still better than nothing, but you are not well-protected, and you should know that you're not well-protected. And so if you're going to a crowded indoor setting and all you have is a cloth mask, don't go.

We need to be wearing at least a three-ply surgical mask, you can wear a cloth mask on top of that, but do not just wear a cloth mask alone.

One is for health care workers who test positive. You don't want those individuals to have to be out of the workforce and then we have a serious shortage. The second reason is, we want to actually incentivize people to find out that they're positive, what if you don't want to miss days from work ? You might end up just not testing, because you don't want to find out that you're positive. And so, if cutting 10 days to five days -- even if we end up missing some percentage of people who may still be infectious -- you may actually get higher compliance if you get to a lower number of days needed for isolation.

Regular, surveillance testing of asymptomatic individuals is an important layer of protection. Vaccination and testing is enough to replace the need for masking.

If you have symptoms or were substantially exposed to someone with Covid-19, you should go get a PCR test. That's the gold standard, the at-home antigen tests should be used, ideally, when you are asymptomatic and the likelihood of you having Covid is pretty low, but you're using it for assurance purposes.

Check the Covid-19 infection rates in your area, just as you would a weather forecast. Keep an eye on Omicron and, importantly, Delta. Be ready to modify plans, though I wouldn't cancel on account of the new variant just yet.

And now we know that this mixed messaging is not just wrong, it's deliberately misleading. And that's extremely distressing, i think about all of the patients I've treated who have lost their lives or who have recovered but have long-term effects because of Covid-19.

If we're waiting until 60 % to 80 % of people have it, we're talking about 200 million-plus Americans getting this -- and at a fatality rate of 1 %, let's say, that's 2 million Americans who will die in this effort to try to get herd immunity, those are preventable deaths of our loved ones that we can just not let happen under our watch.

I'm concerned that these recommendations suggest someone who has had substantial exposure to a person with Covid-19 now doesn't need to get tested, this is key to contact tracing, especially given that up to 50 % of all transmission is due to people who do not have symptoms. One wonders why The CDC guidelines were changed -- is it to justify continued deficit of testing ?

Imagine if these 97,000 children were all in school. Imagine how many outbreaks there could be, the lesson to take away here is that you can not keep a school safe from coronavirus if the community is a hotbed of infection. There is just no way.

If President Trump or some other elected official is making mask-wearing a political or partisan issue, then they're also saying that the advice from public health experts is partisan, and then public health as a whole loses the credibility that it really needs in order to guide this pandemic.

Unfortunately, we reopened too soon, we also reopened also in not the safest way possible and now we are seeing these surges all across the country. We are basically back to where New York was back in March except that this time I don't think there is the political will and the public support to have these shutdowns to be able to control this virus from really surging out of control.

We had a strategy before. That strategy was we would reduce the number of infections and at the same time build up our capabilities to do testing, tracing, isolation, we know that that's what's going to be effective, but we are reopening before those capabilities are in place. So in essence, we're saying it's too hard. We're not going to be able to get there. And so we're switching to a new phase.

We are seeing cases of a number of infections going in exactly the wrong direction. They're increasing, and we don't have the capabilities we need, the testing, the tracing, all these efforts that require a national coordinated presence, we don't have that in place. And the last thing we want is to give the American people the idea that we have the virus under control, when actually nothing about the virus has changed.

Celine Gounder are seeing things getting out of control with no sense of how Celine Gounder're going to get it under control, and then to hear the President talk about how Celine Gounder're going to be scaling back restrictions at a time when Celine Gounder have exponential spread of this disease... it actually sends a confusing message.

Just like the Trump administration and the state politicians they embolden, Missouri Governor Parson's inspections process has become just another vehicle to intimidate doctors like me and to push abortion out of reach for patients, none of this has one bit to do with patient health or safety, but rather, banning abortion.

Planned Parenthood will not sit by and watch as politicians take our rights and freedoms to women's health care away, we will fight in Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, and everywhere else politicians interfere with medical care, because women's health care is health care and health care is a human right.

This rule compromises the oath that I took to serve patients and help them with making the best decision for their own health. Patients expect their doctors to speak honestly with them, to answer their questions, to help them in their time of need, imagine if the Trump administration prevented doctors from talking to our patients with diabetes about insulin. It would never happen. Reproductive health care should be no different.
