The Trump administration pushed back after public health officials and lawmakers sounded alarms over a new program that directs hospitals to report COVID-19 data directly to the Department of Health and Human Services instead of to the CDC.

data collection from hospitals more centralized and efficient, some fear HHS control and using a system run by a private contractor instead of existing CDC data collection channels could politicize findings and cut experts out of the loop.

Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Robert Redfield, speaks during a White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the Department of Education building Wednesday, July 8, 2020, in Washington. He said anyone wanting to accessing the CDC data contained within the broader system has to be"authenticated" by HHS staff and get permission from a CDC representative.

"We can't make meaningful projections without having access to up-to-date information," said Dr. Aditya Khanna, a research assistant professor and director of network modeling at the University of Chicago, who noted his team relies on publicly available data from the CDC in modeling the coronavirus pandemic.Exterior of the Center for Disease Control headquarters is seen on Oct. 13, 2014 in Atlanta."A very big contract has been given to a private firm," he said.

It was explained that the CDC wasn’t getting the reports from the states The White House is only cracking the whip to get reports to CDC. Old news. truth

If the coronavirus was just a contributing factor or if it’s “assumed to have caused or contributed to death,” it can be listed as the primary cause.

Chris HaHa he looks real scary he’s a giant Democratic Party member on Joe Biden staff chris needs a intervention

Dr. Redfield doesn’t want to lose govt funding so he has to be careful how he responds to questions. Sad and frustrating

OversightDems She still fights for us! Thank you Rep. Maxine Waters!!

I do hope you listened to his answer

News flash!! COVID has been politicized since day 1!! 🙄

Nah. We support it.

If this is America why do you have to wait 3weeks to get your cannibis after a doctor recommended medicine, but yet someones grandchildren could go pick up there medicine without a I'd or singuture today?

They’re just going to lie about the numbers.

In Trump's genius mind... I'll just take a few zeros off the end of those mean, pesky numbers before passing them on. There...all better

Trump only wants to hide the information as well as use it in a vindictive manner against America

This can only be seen as a way to sharpie the numbers.

Idiots!

I'm guessing so he has more control over the numbers statistics during re-election

Because CDC is liars

Looking to control and alter information during a pandemic. Oh, and during an election.

Follow the trail, What is the name of the Private Company that is collecting Covid Data for the HHS?

Does the program prevent data release to other entities?

Yeah Trump wants to get the numbers and put them out himself - 20000 - 10000 make a b one or two that lying Pizza you know what

Respond to your hospital admins!!

Control the information and the Virus will Magically Disappear.

SamChampion So much BS ... 1) Who is this 'private company' that will be collecting the data? 2) What relation does this 'private company' have to Trump, Kushner, and the other miscreants in this Administration? (Don't forget Kushner awarded a testing contract to his OWN BROTHER)

These fools that disregard science are responsible for all the deaths. Sickening.

It's the same

CDC DoNotSendTheData

Trump admin I know you will back off if the hospitals say you must pay for this data, because as usual you like to collect but not pay out....

Now what will happen

Death cult

Fake news, move along

Daddy told me numbers should go straight to him so the crooked liberal CDC can’t count all the people I’ve killed. This is best for America!! MAGA ReOpenSchools RonDeathSantis 🇷🇺🇷🇺
