One of the authors tweeted this:

"The rest of the world has accepted the endemic nature of Covid and moved on, but the U.S. is an int'l outlier, still pushing mass testing & chasing down every case." [0]

I'm not sure what inverse universe he lives in given that we barely do any official testing, and contact tracing never even got off the ground.

His retweets are also all the other well known covid-minimizers - including the infamous Jay Bhattacharya.

All the state have moved on but the Federal government guidance is still stuck in the past.

What is the federal government enforcing? Don't even need to be tested before flying into the US anymore.

The post you’re replying to says “guidance”, not regulations or enforcement.

But guidance is an incredibly weak standard. The CDC for example recommend you only eat steaks cooked to a temperature that works out to medium done or higher. I suspect I'm not even sure the guidance on the state level is actually different. I suspect just less reported on

That’s exactly the critique. The CDC makes blanket recommendations that aren’t based in science and assume you dear citizen are incapable of grappling with nuanced advice.
