Well, sort of. They hedged their language in response to political interference, saying things like “it’s best not to travel during the holiday season, but if you do, be mindful of… blah blah blah”. Weak and over-nuanced. As the incoming CDC administrator commented, it’s like saying “don’t drive drunk, but if you do, try and be safe”.

Better language would have been “do not travel during the holiday season unless it is absolutely essential. Case numbers continue to rise nationwide at an alarming rate, and non-essential travel puts you and your loved ones at elevated risk by spreading hotspots of infection between communities”. Or anything else that wasn’t both-sides-ism, really. No one is kidding themselves that CDC language would have stopped travel dead, but they really did not urge Americans to avoid travel.
