In a major reversal from their previous stance, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has “abruptly changed course this week and is now telling the public testing might not be necessary”, according to ABC News.

According to a recent tweet, Bob Iger shared that the CDC’s change is “more than disappointing”, that it is “horrifying.”
