So, you get to the end of World War Two in 1945. And, through all the tasks it's been doing for the past couple of years, this group — the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas — has done a really good job. And has also amassed, while it's been doing that, a fleet of literal trucks and lab equipment and people, scientists of various kinds, that the government doesn't particularly want to let go of.
And so there have been other outbreaks through the years that I've covered as a journalist in which, you know, an outbreak has happened somewhere and the CDC will hold a press briefing for it and they'll say,"Well, we're hearing from state X that such and such is happening." And someone in the press corps will say,"Well, is the CDC on the ground yet?" And the CDC has to say,"Well, actually, no... the state has not yet ask us to come.".
And there, the bulletin that they ran in, I think February 2003 alerted the world that something might be coming. By the end of June, we had more than 8,000 cases of SARS in more than two dozen countries, 774 people died around the world, if I remember correctly. So in that first bulletin, on the 30th of December, it did not say coronavirus. It didn't say SARS.
And it's quite odd to see that other entities have kind of rushed to fill that gap. The best known, probably highest regarded essentially dashboard of data for the pandemic for the United State and the whole world, is actually being run by the public health school at Johns Hopkins.The data, sort of, counting by state, of test data, was initially done by the magazine, The Atlantic. And now, there's a coronavirus tracker of cases that's being run by The New York Times.
gpbnews Because trump thinks they are being mean to him.
gpbnews Don't believe what you hear about new cases, they're inflated. You get tested 3 different times & results are all positive, it's 3 new cases. If you get the antigen test & you're positive, it's a new case even if you're not sick. Pay attention to hospitalizations and deaths.
gpbnews Sidelined?
gpbnews Simple Answer: They lost all credibility with their 2016 Opioid Guidelines.
gpbnews CDC sidelined itself too. Its semi-worthless agency now. Biden should completely wipe out their leadership and some midlevel FEDtwats to resurrect it.
gpbnews Didn’t the CDC get caught before forging gun studies?
gpbnews Nope. Haven’t trusted them for years.
gpbnews Trustworthy? I now have my doubts going forward.
gpbnews Ignorance abounds in this United States. Too many people have rotted their brains listening to Donald Trump. Wake the hell up!
gpbnews To mask or not to mask? That is the question. Tis Nobler to give masks to first responders than suffer the glares and evil eyes of fellow shoppers? Or is PPE for me & thine the more heroic act ?
gpbnews Because the rep. Govonors are mororons
