The Trump administration does not want you to know what’s going on with coronavirus. This is nothing new. Here is a tweet from March 2, when the cover up first started.
BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus.
On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed.
The lack of testing is a scandal.

So here’s the latest funny business. CNBC:
-
Since the pandemic began, the CDC has regularly published data on availability of hospital beds and intensive care units across the country.
-
But Ryan Panchadsaram, who helps run a data-tracking site called Covid Exit Strategy, said that when he tried to collect the data from the CDC on Tuesday, it had disappeared.
-
When reached for comment Thursday by CNBC, HHS spokesman Michael Caputo said in a statement that the CDC was directed to make the data available again.
If you are stunned, that a sitting *president* would hijack the CDC during a global pandemic, the director undoubtedly shares your feelings.
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told reporters on a conference call Wednesday that states were told to stop sending hospital information to the National Healthcare Safety Network site, the CDC’s system for gathering data, beginning Wednesday. Instead, all data will now be reported through HHS’ reporting portal, officials said, adding that the decision was made to streamline data reporting and to provide HHS officials with real-time data.
Public health specialists and former health officials acknowledged that the CDC’s data reporting infrastructure was limited, and said it needs to be overhauled to meet the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, they expressed concern in interviews with CNBC that the change could lead to less transparent data.
When reached for comment Thursday by CNBC, HHS spokesman Michael Caputo said in a statement that the CDC was directed to make the data available again. In the future, he said, HHS will provide “more powerful insights.”
The “more powerful insights” are going to be whatever self-serving lies Trump wants to tell. This is a breaking story and will be updated.
We’ll have to rely on our individual states for up-to-date stuff. And look to media for accounting. A grass roots effort. I think it will be a big boon if relief were somehow effected by covid cases and deaths down the line.
I don’t understand your last sentence. You’re saying that if enough people die, then Trump will be forced to allow access to data?
I’m beginning to see another reaffirmation of the death squad, formerly know as the (Pense Jack-off squad), reshaping Fauci’s and other’s comments in real time …
Trump’s always presence, leaning over the doctor’s shoulders, uncomfortably shifting stance and shuffling feet jumping at the mic as each Doctor’s statement completed so he could use his worthless spin to snub the truth presented by the CDC and the top doctors in the field of transmitted diseases and pandemics …
First, Donald dumb ass, destroys everything Obama had set up, even ignored the reference manual Obama made and handed off to Trump, sent all the teams home, shut down the labs units associated with early
control of the pandemic, then as he heard the gory details back in late 2019, he did NOTHING time after time, still, to this day he is hampering the process of mitigation, storing as much of the disease in limbo as possible by quarantine, using masks and the whole regimen of hand washing and social distancing, NEVER PURSUED the available testing system manufacturing, (would show all his failing numbers … this small brained lizard, is more worried about the numbers than stopping the outright killing he is doing to our citizens) …
As the most prolific mass killer since Hitler and others, played their deadly games of population decimation for whatever their needs were at the time, this total idiot COULD HAVE stymied the virus like South Korea and only lost a few thousand out of millions there, as it is now, Trump’s idiocy is aiming at 300, 000 dead people within a couple months or sooner, we DON’T have enough tests and the turnaround with the tests we have cannot keep up with the progression of the disease ….
NOW we see the depravity and blatant stupidity in the WH – hamper the reporting system, (lower or false numbers for Trump), along with that, he, holding hands with the GOP, are messing with our vote-by-mail system, even plugged a ringer into the postal system to delay vote-by-mail paperwork, the prick in the WH and all the tried and true pricks with their lips super glued to the turtle, are promoting, once again, Trump’s inglorious failure of a not being a real POTUS, as the right choice for all the people, and Trump – Pfffft!! He does not give one fricken damn how many he ends up killing … look out, he is coming for you right now …
Lie. Cheat, steal, deflect. Blame. Rinse. Repeat. What else can they do? Telling the truth isn’t an option for any Republican. Not that enough people will buy it to save their arses.
If I were sending number from a hospital, I’d send them to the county, the state, the CDC, and HHS, *and* the local media.
Exactly. Sure, states can send the data to HHS. They should also send it to CDC, not rely on HHS to forward to CDC. Might as well send a back up to local media.
