The world has been grappling with a deadly virus – COVID-19 for two years now. Over the years we have lost many lives and have struggled for basic medical facilities all over the globe. Various nations came together to provide medical, infrastructural, and moral support. One of the hardest hit was the US. Despite being an advanced and developed nation, it still battled for saving millions of lives of its people. A nation which has highly sophisticated medical infrastructure and is equipped to manage all such situations has seen havoc in its territory.
It’s seen that the constant mutations of this virus are still a matter of concern and have the potential to spread at a faster rate than the previous ones. One of the major organizations in easing the restrictions is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) .
Greta Massetti in a statement by the CDC said, “we are in a stronger place today as a nation, with more tools- like vaccination, boosters and treatment – to protect ourselves , and our communities, from severe illness from COVID-19”.
Many nations have claimed their advancements in many such historic speeches but this tiny virus has given a reality check to many such upcoming powers. After constant pressure CDC has updated its guidelines, in the benefit of the masses.
Under the new CDC guidelines, people affected with the virus do not have to get Under quarantine instead they will have to wear a high quality mask and get tested on the fifth day. The children exposed to virus do not need to have a negative report, also mentioned by Greta Massetti.
After the guidelines were announced in public CDC has been under scrutiny for risking the lives of the people. Many social activists are criticizing the announcements made. Eric Feigl-Ding , a top epidemiologist has put forth his extremely sharp and critical views for these guidelines. He has been constantly up in his game by being active on twitter and tweeting critical point of views on these new guidelines.
This is not the first time that the United Nations has been in the purview of critical scrutiny for its adverse decisions.
Though the intensity and adversity of the illness caused by the virus might have decreased, still no nation can let its guards down.
As the cases are on rise again CDC has to reform the guidelines to protect its people from any kind of adverse situation.
This virus is constantly undergoing mutation and one can say that even in the post covid era the virus has left its reminiscence while traumatizing the human population . Organizations like CDC have to be more responsible and mindful towards their decisions so that there are no regrets later.
