Why not just come out and say it. It only takes one brief contact with an infected person or object or exposure to contaminated air (with any mask less than an N95 or bio-hazmat positive air system hood) to contract the virus and become infected too.

Science my ass!

The Center for Disease Control has redefined what counts as “close contact” with a COVID-19 patient. The CDC released the updated guidelines on Wednesday, noting people should quarantine if they have multiple close encounters with an infected person amounting to 15 minutes in one day.

The update came after a Vermont prison employee caught COVID-19 from inmates after having a number of brief encounters with them, which amounted to 17 minutes.

CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said the change falls in line with new scientific data.

“There is some recent data that has been determined that individuals who had a series of shorter contacts, but over time added up to more than 15 minutes, became infected,” he explained. “And clarifying that new science, that new data into our contact recommendations, is what you’re alluding to.”

Officials went on to stress the importance of social distancing and wearing masks whenever possible

The CDC has changed their minds so many times I don't even believe what they say anymore. It's more of a political organization than anything to do with the health of American citizens.
