Important news: CDC has revised the definition of what "close contact" means.

Posted by 💀 Skully 💀 (aka loosilu2) Oct 21 '20, 12:13

From the WaPo article:
The CDC had previously defined a “close contact” as someone who spent at least 15 consecutive minutes within six feet of a confirmed coronavirus case. The updated guidance, which health departments rely on to conduct contact tracing, now defines a close contact as someone who was within six feet of an infected individual for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period, according to a CDC statement Wednesday.

"It's okay, I was only within six feet for two minutes at a time, every hour" must've been getting too common -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 21, 12:15 4

- I'm thinking more like, "We were in the same building all day but I never interacted with him more than a minute at a time." -- nm - 💀 Skully 💀 Oct 21, 12:19
- I bet ST could make money selling those radiation-badge things that claim to measure # of droplets per minute and sound an alarm at a bad level. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 12:16
