I'm really curious about where Santa Clara County is in adopting either or both the Saliva test, but even more importantly the "paper" test that has 15 minute turn around and is very inexpensive and can literally be used every day. If everyone did this every day, we'd be on our way out of this mess. There have been numerous stories and articles written about this testing methodology, but I have not heard our County officials respond in any meaningful way. They seem wedded to the expensive and time consuming PCR test, but accuracy is less important if it takes almost a week to get results and very few people are getting the test done!

If you don't know why the CDC made the changes then please don't mislead the readers with your suppositions.
"I believe these changes have come from further up the chain in the federal government, from the White House, and they are totally misdirected. "

It sounds like the CDC is reversing their position on this matter.

Especially when "peer" doctors demonstrated the potential public health additional risk.

But this was clearly an attempt to reduce testing and data results to artificially improve the COVID statistics.

Bad form.

In his speech from in front of the White House tonight, Donald Trump warned of the multi-colored "radical left" trying to regain power and directed the friendly crowd of Covid-19 spreaders saying "What is the name of that building?" Then he said "we're here; they're not." The White House. Get it? And what will the racist liar-in-chief do to retain power? Stop testing. Stop voting. Anything and everything corrupt.
