American Commitment’s Phil Kerpen went through the CDC’s website and found that they don’t only have virus guidance:
Some important CDC guidance for the kind of people who take CDC guidance seriously to scrupulously follow:

The CDC has guidance for almost anything you want to do, and it’s something else:
"Do not taste or eat any raw dough or batter, whether for cookies, tortillas, pizza, biscuits, pancakes, or crafts… Do not let children play with or eat raw dough, including dough for crafts."https://t.co/w9RTDBU3XD

Well done burgers only.
"The FDA Food Code says that restaurants should cook ground beef to 155°F for 15 seconds. But CDC and USDA say that consumers should cook ground beef to 160°F."https://t.co/pVjh1UUBel

"Cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm."https://t.co/QPmuS7OIRi

"Even if a woman is not trying to get pregnant… A woman should not drink alcohol if she is sexually active and does not use effective contraception."https://t.co/EJL9tnQUJV

"Pregnant couples should use condoms from start to finish every time they have sex, or they should not have sex for the entire pregnancy."https://t.co/dvgPzTEwK2

You drink too much, per the CDC, if you are a woman and have more than 1 drink in a day. (Men are allowed 2.)https://t.co/ckI392uCGd pic.twitter.com/7iML3JnEjD

"Always supervise children around pets. Don’t let them kiss their pets, hold pets close to their faces, or allow pets to lick their face or mouth."https://t.co/BwYo8rCrIz

CDC will let you go lower than well-done for steaks. But only to medium (145F). Medium-rare violates CDC guidance.https://t.co/8B0wUazKnC

Does “CDC” stand for “Comprehensive Directions for Cooking”?
But it’s not just food — schools also are given advice on combatting the sun:
CDC has this "sun safety" guidance for schools. https://t.co/Tybi08kefa pic.twitter.com/jfh6e6Z7vY

We’re going to assume all school-related guidance has been completely approved by the American Federation of Teachers union.
The takeaway from this whole story is this:
