I think the biggest failure wasn't the CDC being wrong at first, it was society not being receptive to changes. It's impossible to be correct every single time.

I think the biggest failure wasn't the CDC being wrong at first, it was society not being receptive to changes. It's impossible to be correct every single time. The only thing they can do is say what they know so far.

- yupper32 4y ago...that article says exactly what I said. The CDC was initially wrong, and after some good science and convincing, they changed their stance. That's how science works... and numbers like 5 microns which have been ingrained for a while take some real work to change. What exactly is wrong with my statement?
