CDC Urged to Recognize COVID Aerosol Transmission in Petition Signed by 10,000

The National Nurses United (NNU) and 44 other organizations and unions delivered a petition with over 10,000 signatures to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday to press the agency to update its official guidance on how the coronavirus is spread.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Canada isn’t real.

This past year has taught us a lot about ourselves, both individually and as a nation. Much of it hasn’t been pretty. The worst among us have been exposed as being even more awful than even the most cynical among us thought. Bureaucrats at all levels of government have proven to be more than useless yet willing to grab as much power as they can all the while contributing nothing positive to society.
