C.D.C. Study Raises Questions About Agency’s Isolation Guidelines – The New York Times (Me: Resist the temptation to go “easy” on Covid precautions! There is n o going back to old normal!!!)
More than half of people who took a rapid antigen test five to nine days after first testing positive for the coronavirus or after developing Covid-19 symptoms tested positive on the antigen test, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The finding raises more concerns about the agency’s revised isolation guidelines, which say that many people with Covid can end their isolation periods after five days, without a negative coronavirus test.
A C.D.C. scientist who was an author of the study said that he did not believe the agency’s isolation guidelines needed to change. But the results suggest that many people with the virus may still be infectious during this period, scientists said.
The study “demonstrates what a lot of people have suspected: that five days is insufficient for a substantial number of people,” Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan, said in an email. “The bottom line,” she added, “is that this absolutely should lead to a change in isolation guidance.”
The research was conducted after Omicron became the dominant variant in the United States and as cases were surging nationwide. Cases have since fallen precipitously, reducing the risk of infection and the number of Americans who are in isolation.
The C.D.C. shortened the isolation period to five days from 10 in December as the Omicron variant spread. Many public health experts criticized the move, noting that people might still be infectious after five days and that allowing them to end isolation without testing might help the new variant spread faster.

A Voice From When News Was News
I often miss the newscasters of yore, people like Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Diane Sawyer, John Chancellor, the team of Huntley-Brinkley, and more. One who is still around, though no longer serving as a news anchor, is Dan Rather. His periodic newsletters are insightful and informative, and today I share his latest, his take on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The world spins.
The sun sets on a nation under attack.
The sun rises on a desperate awareness of a new, dire, and unpredictable crisis.
Panic spreads across Ukraine as the sounds of death echo across its cities and countryside. We must think first and foremost of those facing the brunt of the invasion, especially the civilians who will inevitably be caught in the crossfire of conflict. We can picture the parents desperately trying to soothe the fears of their children…

BitConnect Founder Indicted in Global $2.4 Billion Cryptocurrency Scheme | OPA | Department of Justice
According to court documents, Satish Kumbhani, 36, of Hemal, India, the founder of BitConnect, misled investors about BitConnect’s “Lending Program.” Under this program, Kumbhani and his co-conspirators touted BitConnect’s purported proprietary technology, known as the “BitConnect Trading Bot” and “Volatility Software,” as being able to generate substantial profits and guaranteed returns by using investors’ money to trade on the volatility of cryptocurrency exchange markets. As alleged in the indictment, however, BitConnect operated as a Ponzi scheme by paying earlier BitConnect investors with money from later investors. In total, Kumbhani and his co-conspirators obtained approximately $2.4 billion from investors.

Let’s save the wildlife- (The giraffe – Giraffa camelopardalis)
Žirafa je afrički sisar iz reda papkara, najviši od svih kopnenih životinja. Međunarodna unija za očuvanje prirode (IUCN)smatra žirafe ranjivim na izumiranje sa oko 97.000 divljih jedinki koje su živjele 2016. godine. Sjeverne žirafe žive u savanama, grmovima i šumama. Poslije brojnih lokalnih izumiranja, sjeverne žirafe su najmanje brojna vrsta, a najugroženija. U Istočnoj Africi uglavnom se nalaze u Keniji i jugozapadnoj Etiopiji, ali rijetko u sjeveroistočnoj Demokratskoj Republici Kongo i Južnom Sudanu. Ima ih oko 2.000 u Centralnoafričkoj Republici, Čadu i Kamerunu u Centralnoj Africi. Nekad široko rasprostranjena u Zapadnoj Africi, nekoliko stotina sjevernih žirafa zatvoreno je u rezervatu Dosso u Nigeru. Izolovana je u Južnom Sudanu, Keniji, Čadu i Nigeru. Obično žive u zaštićenim područjima i van njih.
