CDC warns it 'may be possible' for coronavirus to spread on surfaces, in new shift

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) edited information posted to its website last week on the transmission of the coronavirus from contaminated surfaces after the health agency deemed it confusing.

“After media reports appeared that suggested a change in CDC’s view on transmissibility, it became clear that these edits were confusing,” a press releasepublished Friday read.

In its statement, the CDC said it's possible to contract COVID-19 from touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your face, adding: "The primary and most important mode of transmission for COVID-19 is through close contact from person-to-person."

The edit comes after the agency initially said Wednesday that the virus “does not spread easily” by “touching surfaces or objects." In March, it had said it was possible for COVID-19 to spread through surfaces and objects, before updating its guidance to say surfaces are a medium by which the virus does not spread easily.

Now this is just dandy. Guess we will now be on the lookout until the end of time

Now do you believe this crap is fake??? First they didn't know, then they said it would stay on certain kinds of surfaces for longs periods of time, then they said it can't live on surfaces pretty much, and now back to it might be able to spread through surfaces...

Any good news about Corona gets revised within a day or two. Got to keep that fear going if we are going to collapse the country.

The CDC is worthless. Yea, and I'm 66 years old and still believe in Santa Claus but find it very hard to believe in the CDC or most any other government flatulence producer. Let me know when the real brown stuff shows its smelly self and I may reconsider. obama doesn't count.

I am progressive and love CNN....MSNBC said...

Have any of you ever thought that maybe we just lost a cold war against China?
We had to have nukes, spy planes, submarines, double agents and unwinnable wars over 50 years to break the Russian economy. What if it was faked by the Chinese from the start. The Chinese government with just a few videos of "dead" bodies in the street and people spraying chemicals and scientists disappearing and rumors of leaks at the lab real or not have destroyed us. What if it was all just a little bit of media manipulation by the Chinese and now they are sitting back and watching us self implode.

I think we're wearing masks and doing all the other rigamarole because of the should, may, might. They don't know what they're doing.

Oh. My. God. is it any wonder we're all running around like chickens with our heads cut off? You don't need to wear a mask. Cloth masks won't help...no, wait, you should wear a mask, C95 recommended but anything covering your face will do. Wear masks inside only. Wear masks when passing others outside, but not if you're jogging...I'm losing my mind! Anything that would reduce the fear-mongering from the media will be changed in a matter of days, or sometimes even hours. We cannot trust the narrative because the narrative changes on a whim. We are doomed.
