There are so many BIG stories going on, it& #39;s impossible to keep up. For example, I entirely missed *this* until today: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

The Trump administration& #39;s efforts to obscure (& who knows what else) America& #39;s COVID19 data by diverting it from the CDC to a secretive contractor.
In mid-July, hospitals were no longer allowed to report their data to the CDC. They had to report to TeleTracking, a Pittsburgh(https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Gesicht mit Symbolen über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Symbolen über dem Mund">) company w/a $10M no bid govt contract. This caused a 10 day Covid19 data blackout. Every single aspect of this is corrupt. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/23/us/politics/coronavirus-data.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/2...
So this company which has all of the US hospitals& #39; health data regarding coronavirus is an opaque black box.

This data secrecy should be a 5 alarm https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer"> https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/us-epidemiologists-say-data-secrecy-covid-19-cases-cripples-intervention-strategies">https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...
And looping back to the CDC, it is currently led by Robert Renfield, who claims to have been as surprised as anyone else about the data reporting switch over.

The rank and file of the CDC are horrified and their leadership. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/hhs-last-minute-order-to-hospitals-on-covid-data-created-weeks-of-chaos">https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/hhs-...
