(1/4) It’s not enough for Trump to ruin American government, credibility, and our reputation abroad.

He has to ruin the credibility of the CDC. People look to the CDC for reliable medical advice. Putting political pressure on the nation’s health protection agency to change
(2/4) recommendations because he wants testing slowed down is reprehensible.

ASYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE EXACERBATE THE SPREAD OF THIS DISEASE! WE KNOW THIS!!!

These new guidelines make ZERO sense. Medical experts agree- we should be testing MORE NOT LESS!! This is a deadly pandemic!
(3/4) Testing less is going to lead to more infections, and therefore more deaths.

For the CDC to change its guidelines and cave to political pressure is unprecedented.

Congress needs to open an investigation into this. The CDC is supposed to be a non-partisan entity concerned
(4/4) with the health of all Americans. With these new guidelines, I have serious doubts that the organization is looking out for the American people. It appears to be more concerned with fulfilling Trump’s wish of less testing.
