The experts at the CDC want to ruin your 4th of July BBQ, but not with social distancing

The CDC released suggested grilling temperatures for your 4th of July BBQ, but we have an issue that guideline for steaks:

If you’re firing up the grill for #4thofJuly, use a meat thermometer to ensure meat reaches an internal temp. hot enough to kill germs.
✔️Hamburgers- 160°F
✔️Hotdogs- 165°F
✔️Chicken- 165°F
