This doesn’t seem very science-y, all things considered. After originally posting their new changed guidelines for quarantine from ten days to five, and getting a lot of Branch Covidians confused about it, the CDC quietly edited the guidelines again to add: you can exit quarantine if “symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours)”…

It would appear the CDC originally responded to the requests from the corporate community of employers for an anticipatory change in quarantine times from ten days to five. Likely an effort to keep people working.

500,000 people out sick would definitely impact the “workforce and operations” of businesses.
Not very science-y or public health related – but rather, CDC guidance determined by business operational needs.
