So, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walensky started by answering a question about the new CDC guidelines that suggest that people who have contracted the virus should isolate for only five days, reduced from the previous numbers, and then reintegrate into society wearing a mask. She replied:<\/p>\n<p><em>Isolation, we talk about isolation in the context of people who\u2019ve had a positive test, who know that they are infected. And we now have dozens of studies referenced on the CDC website that have demonstrated that you are most infectious in the one to two days before your symptoms and the two to three days after your symptoms. So by five days after your symptoms, the vast majority of your contagiousness is really behind you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what we say at day five, then, is: Are your symptoms gone? Are you feeling better? Is your cough gone? Sore throat gone?\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd if so, then it is safe to go out if you are wearing a mask all the time. And that means not going out to restaurants; not going out to gyms, not going out in visiting grandma, but really conscientiously wearing your mask for those last five days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, some have said they are interested in using an antigen or a home test at the end of those five days, and if people are interested and have access then they may choose to take that extra step and do that antigen test,\u201d she stated, adding, \u201cAnd that means that if that test is positive, you should stay home for five days but if that test is negative, you should go out and continue to wear your mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about a new study showing how successful vaccines have been in preventing serious illness and whether that should provoke rethinking about how to live with the virus in perpetuity, Walensky answered: \u201cThe overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with. And yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron; this means not only &nbsp;just to get your primary series but to get your booster series. And yes, we\u2019re really encouraged by these results.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>On Sunday, Walensky was <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-director-cant-say-how-many-of-836000-deaths-are-from-covid-and-how-many-are-with-covid\/\">asked<\/a> by Fox News anchor Bret Baier how many of the 800k+ covid deaths in America were \u201cwith covid\u201d as opposed to \u201cfrom covid.\u201d He inquired, \u201cDo you know how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are&nbsp;from&nbsp;COVID or how many are&nbsp;with<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>COVID but they had other comorbidities? Do you have that breakdown?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, of course with Omicron we\u2019re following that very carefully,\u201d Walensky dodged. \u201cOur death registry, of course, takes a few weeks to \u2014 and is a \u2014 takes a few weeks to collect, and of course, Omicron has just been with us for a few weeks, but those data will be forthcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
