Classical music influences many, even that Wascally Wabbit

I make no claims to be a classical music buff. I have to admit, much of my classical music education came from Walter Lantz’s Woody Woodpecker and Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes among others. My first encounter with Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Second Movement, was from the theme music to the Huntley/Brinkley nightly news. Many thanks again to Gioachino Rossini for his toe tapping "William Tell Overture" (Did William Tell really shoot an apple off his son’s head with a bow and arrow?). You may be reminded of some childhood memory or some manufacturer that you never knew used classical music to sell its product.

CDC trims quarantine rules down from 14 to 7-10 days

Previously, if you were exposed to a person infected with SARS-CoV-2, the recommendation was that you quarantine for 14 days.

It’s not that 14 days is bad, it’s just that’s how does society wants to balance it.”And balance is the important point. Based on what we know, the CDC didn’t say that 14 days is wrong and they are still recommending it when possible. Related: Will Michiganders be willing to get COVID-19 vaccine?
