I think you misunderstand the CDC advisory. Measles prevention recommendation includes vaccination. There is no COVID-19 vaccination, so one must:
  • Avoid contact with sick people.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at 60%–95% alcohol. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.
    • It is especially important to clean hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.

Obviously, one can’t avoid contact with people who are not showing signs.

I won’t die from measles. I could from coming into contact with. COVID19 spreader, and even objects touched by one.
