New CDC guidance says people who've tested positive for COVID-19 only need to quarantine for five days as long as they wear a mask in public for five more days and are no longer symptomatic.

Staffing shortages are hitting hospitals, airlines, and schools. The nation's economy and critical infrastructure are straining under omicron.

Are we putting the health and safety of frontline workers at risk to keep the country running?
