| 0:00.0 | here's some news about the pandemic. It looks like the CDC is changing its recommendation |
| 0:21.4 | for how long you should quarantine. The CDC is reportedly set to shorten its quarantine |
| 0:26.4 | recommendation. It could go from the current 14 days to between seven and 10 days. |
| 0:31.0 | Yep, this isn't based on science. It's just that there's nothing left to binge on Netflix. |
| 0:34.9 | No. The idea that it's not based on science is a common theme among anything that's got |
| 0:42.6 | to do with coronavirus. It's people's guesses and that turns out to not be important at all. |
| 0:47.2 | Like I mentioned earlier in article in the New York Times that said, it turns out gatherings |

| 1:46.9 | between Black Friday this year and last year when it comes to what stores look like. |
| 1:53.8 | But they're hoping to make it up on cyber Monday, which is today, which is a stupid concept, |
