This is the video of the March 1, 2024, CDC webinar regarding public guidance to prevent the spread of respiratory infections. Those over age 65 and immunosuppressed are encouraged to obtain a vaccine. Overall, the "we are in a better place now" was used extensively.  However, I felt the presentation is not clear on a number of items.
1. The percentage of all adults currently experiencing symptoms of (COVID appears to have increased to 6.8% (CDC pulse survey). This is a huge risk to our society and workforce.  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/puls...
2. Although 95% of those in hospitals have not received the updated booster, during this time period less than 20% of all adults have received the booster.  The new booster's effectiveness in preventing hospitalizations was estimated in one study at 52%. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/w...  
3. With the large propensity of asymptomatic spread with SARS-CoV-2, I am not sure why we should worry about spreading the virus to others only in symptomatic individuals but not in asymptomatic individuals.
