Summary

The CDC has just shortened its recommended isolation period. But what's behind the change? Science? Or corporate profit? Is it a mere coincidence that the new number of days matches the number of days asked for by the CEO of Delta Airlines? And Joe Biden says there's "no federal solution" to Covid? Is that true?
