Any idea whether these reports would be available via FOIA?
…competing with legions of also newly-trained 19 and 20 year-olds who can survive accepting lower pay.
That should be pretty.
This.
The misadministration is gutting the EPA (NYT story), unwinding fifty years of regulation by revising how the National Evironmental Protection Act will be interpreted.
Because, climate change is a hoax, and we need to build more stuff.
The point isn’t whether the CDC can or will continue to have access to the reported numbers by the states.
The point is that they have effectively been declared as the NON-AUTHORITATIVE source of this data. Therefore, any reporting CDC continues to do will be dis-qualified by the W.H. minion. All the W.H. propagandists have to say is that the CDC is wrong because they do not have the latest or complete information. What ensues is fighting about whether that is true or not, or whether they should and why don’t they. But what’s effectively accomplished is to further undermine science and data by the Trump Administration.
Criminy. I tried to read that “press conference” transcript and even with skimming had to bail out after a few minutes because my brain cells were refusing to go on – the ones that weren’t trying to flee down my spine and out my ears, or huddled whimpering in my sinuses.
I pity the poor transcriptionist who had to process that garbage.
Same philosophy here. I pay for online subscriptions to the Washington Post and Boston Globe as well as a one-man local paper covering my town. I also pay for an ad-free subscription to Raw Story just for the fun of reading their savagely snarky partisan stories without the tide of ads overwhelming the experience.
Time to bring in the “Dream Team” for the head of the campaign;
Scott Baio
Rudy Colludy
Gary Busey
Roger Stone to head campaign Foreign Relations.
Probably rather like some people I knew in the Navy. I worked in direction-finding and radio intercept stations and their particular job was to transcribe manual Morse intercepts from the Russkies. A couple had been doing that, and only that, for years. They would come in at the beginning of a watch, sit down behind a teletype, put a pair of earphones in their head, and literally fall asleep. The incoming code would go directly go from ear to fingers without engaging the brain at all.
Oh, thank you for that perfect straight line!
Just like going to the speaker’s tongue without engaging the brain.
Individual 1 has threatened to withhold Covid treatment drugs and ventilators from hospitals which fail to comply.
Much more info in the article.
Well, it’s back, at least some of it.
However, the dashboard only includes data through July 14. A notice on the webpage states the file will not be updated.
Why can’t hospitals comply with Dear Leader’s directive and send the data where He wants, and then go ahead and send it to the CDC?
Because he’s already threatened them with funding cuts. Likely an empty threat. Again, the objective is to discredit the CDC and take control of the numbers being reported. Others will step in, like Johns Hopkins and various others who also track this data. But they won’t be the authoritative source like the CDC has been up until this point. Trump’s HHS Sec is the captain now…
Who will then what? Report the numbers? They already aren’t doing that - the publicly accessible database won’t be updated past July 14.
Stupid moron is trying to control data so he can ‘look’ better and get re-elected and stay out of courtrooms. Thought he is certainly not smart enough for this idea himself.
“CDC? I had one of those tests after I was with Stormy”
I wonder who is behind it?
The answer is always: that grubby little cockroach Steven Miller, and/or Vlad Putin.
Coronavirus numbers have already started to disappear from the CDC website.
