The CDC is an agency. It cannot speak or write. It is like the great and powerful OZ. There is someone behind the screen that is speaking and writing.
What is behind the screen?
One or more people.
Yes, the CDC is a human or group of humans that is telling other humans how to live (or in this case, not live).
My advice for people who don't have it together:
Listen to and talk to God. He is the only being that is trustworthy.
I am quite sure the CDC has become the Center for Disease Capitalization.
In order to grow the power and size of the agency there needs to be more Diseases - or the continuance of a Disease such as COVID-19.
