Explanation: Case (testing) data continues to flow from the states to CDC, and is independently verifiable from the state reporting, for example, on Covid Tracking Project. So this particular plot cannot be caused by the HHS changeover. https://t.co/u3zb53dgII

This is appalling. The @WhiteHouse stripped @CDCgov of its data-collection responsibilities for #COVID19. @HHSGov hired a private company to take over. The data is now useless, insane.
Call/write your Congressional Rep & say we need #pandemic truth in America. https://t.co/XI4DTwkZf7

Much more sinister: They didn't only strip the CDC of it's data-collection abilities, they outsourced it to one of Trump's largest donors (who also financed Oscar Health — Joshua Kushner's company responsible for the national testing website)

STRONG WARNING: Dr. Anthony Fauci says it’s “conceivable” that tens of thousands of Americans could die from #COVID19 in the coming months. “Unless we get our arms around this and get it suppressed, [we will have] further suffering and further death.” pic.twitter.com/Wcmbf1EfNt

Trump wants to re-open the economy. He wants to send kids back to school. He wants to win in November. And now, a growing number of allies and critics agree on the one thing that could help: Actually wresting control of the virus.

150K people are dead and millions are out of work and Trump's priority for the COVID relief bill is $2 BILLION for a new FBI HQ in downtown DC because Trump doesn't want the FBI to move to the suburbs and have the old site redeveloped w/a hotel that will compete with his

No joke

So Senate Republicans are saying we can't afford continued relief for the unemployed to prevent economic disaster for the whole country…
