The absence of the data will make it harder for health and public officials, as well as the general public, to understand how the virus is spreading., a public health researcher at Washington University in St. Louis."The only way that we know where things are going up and where things are going down and where we need to be putting resources and where we need to be planning is because of those data.
"The new datasets for reporting are not identical and, in several cases, are ill-defined," Dillon says."That has complicated hospitals' efforts."In the wake of the announcement, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services posted a notice on its website warning that the daily and weekly hospital metrics would be temporarily halted.
In Kansas, health officials are still able to access hospital and coronavirus data, but there have been problems with the reporting process, according to to Kansas Department of Health and Environment spokespersonWhen asked if the federal reporting changes had created obstacles for the state health department to have complete, current data on hospitalizations, Zears replied in an email:"It has required hospitals to change which platform they are reporting to and, as with any change, there...
Well what we do know, We have now lost 140,000 Americans to Covid in 5 months. This is almost half of number of US soldiers who died in WWII in four years. And some still don’t want to where a mask and social distance. And some still support the incompetence at the White House.
What kind of a fake bait and switch headline is this? The date isnt MISSING, it is UNavailable to the scum who thought it would be a wise thing to misrepresent the data for political purposes in the first place. NOW they're screeching how important data is!?!
HYVEE7 Aw, the numbers can’t be inflated anymore...
HYVEE7 Ok
False.
So how long before the entire administration is arrested, charged, tried, CONVICTED and punished accordingly for TREASON?
So they privatize the data, and control it’s use and profit from the results while Americans pay the price with high cost vaccines or medicines. This is just a corporate takeover that will result in huge profits for the stake holders.America will wonder if we’re getting real s
The White House is killing us all!
Is anyone surprised by this? Not shocking.
Mr Trump defies the law: health care should do the same - we need to continue to report to the Professionals who collect data and use the data to share information and learn from it (CDC) Are we living in a communist country? 😢
Of course it is.
Consequences should be severe and fraud charges brought if they do not immediately produce the data. America is tired of lies, corruption, and the complete assault on our freedom and autonomy.
Cheaters! WhiteHouse
Who didn't see that one coming?
JMLudes It’s so simple .... if you don’t test, and don’t report, there won’t be any more positive cases, and the virus will just magically disappear! TrumpVirus
mel_moneybags And we’re surprised 😮?
An American facilitating a pandemic in America is an act of treason.
Willful negligent homicide.
Rephrase that headline... it didn't go missing. They just don't have the same access to it
I am shocked!!!!!!!
Shocking 🙄
pillywinker Now we can't even trust medical personnel.
I'll bet it's called a 'transition.' Got narrative, NPR?
amandacarpenter Unfavorable data will disappear, and favorable data that is unreal will magically appear. And anyone from inside who draws attention to that gets fired. That's how it works.
Yes it shows the true nature of this republican party. So bad and they are bringing down the decency and moral standard of the entire US! Vote all of them out and get back your US!
Wow that's a shock......not. They're pandemic response is to lie and hide the numbers. How there has not been a full scale revolution against the tyranny already blows my mind.
This f**% is gonna rework the data to show he somehow has controlled the COVID19. And if the SenateGOP doesn’t agree to check this crime, it could seep into national consciousness.
So the data was corrupt and now they’ve lost it?
Trump now controls the data on Coronavirus cases.We will now see a huge decreases in cases in his new so-called data base.
HYVEE7 Couldnt suport their reports. Typical response, hide it, delete it, bleach bit...
Nany other states need their inaccurate numbers corrected too. Stop killing our economy with your power grabbing g hate filled agenda. End your bias Nazi Propaganda Radio
Nany other states need their inaccurate numbers corrected too. Stop killing our economy with your power grabbing and hate filled agenda. End your bias Nazi Propaganda Radio
Voter registration rolls need cleaning up next. Fake numbers and votes need to end.
What happens if hospitals publish the coronavirus data themselves? In local newspapers? Online?
LyndsayALee Just count actual pos. not double or triple counting the same person!
HYVEE7 Could it be their Data was FAKE to begin with? They are so BUSTED!
🐂💩
realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse HHSGov That's probably what many hospitals and states were afraid would happen -- not getting the data from Health and Human Services -- Trump wants COVID-19 information hidden because he doesn't want to look bad -- too late -- Trump looks bad ...
Renamed Show-Me Not state now
Because he’s trying to cover up the reality.
That took less than a scaramucci
Hopefully now we will know what the real numbers are in regards to active cases verses antibody cases. The CDC kept lumping them together to inflate the numbers of positive cases. To top that off, they also didn't keep up with/or post the negative cases.
We knew this was going to happen. It’s like we have become like all those countries we complain about.
This whole thing seems strange to me. The hospitals are the ones with the data about who dies from COVID but they can’t access the data because of changes in the way it’s supppsed to be reported?
katrowbeeshow Color me shocked... NOT 🙄
Pro Tip: hospitals shouldn't be complying with this. They should know better
HC_Richardson There isn’t one aspect of the Covid-19 response that this administration hasn’t screwed up. Our president is so deeply concerned that he’s on the golf course today. Again.
Who fkn cares about the data? Styurstupdazzhme and pturfknmaskon!
Morning NPR, still promoting hatred as best you can I see... Have a good day guys, hope you all find your souls somewhere out there. Praying for you. 🙏
TrumpIsANationalDisgrace and a danger to the nation.
We really are in free fall!
If there is no data, it doesn't exist. Isn't that what 45 wanted?
Where's the accountability this entire 3.5 years? Where are the public servants who swore an oath to uphold the constitution and democracy? We keep hearing about what tRump did that's illegal but there has been no consequences. Still waiting...
Can we just copy what other counties have done? I don’t give a shit about your politics. Whatever worked in New Zealand, et al, do it here. The faster we get our shit together the faster we can all move on with our lives.
Aren't state data available through the respective state departments of health? I don't understand why the federal shenanigans should keep us in the dark.
That’s because they have been faking it for government funding. Look at what Whitmer is doing in Michigan now. Its a liberal game against organized efforts to control the spread
It is astounding how the Republicans in Congress sit idly by while Trump runs this country into the ground. Clearly our country’s founders didn’t have the current group of spineless legislators in mind when drafting our system of checks and balances.
If you don’t test...you don’t have any cases. If you don’t count..you solve the entire problem... trump logic 101
This is what Trump wanted. No data, no cases, problem solved.
Trump thinks if we don’t see the data, we’ll believe the virus is gone. This, as they are loading up refrigeration trucks with bodies.
He hasn’t worked to curb the virus. He refuses to take responsibility. So per usual he attempts to manufacture a false reality. It’s all a game show to him. He doesn’t care that numbers represent people. He just cares about himself. ToddlerinChief TrumpFailsAmerica
HC_Richardson Surprise, surprise, surprise.
This can not stand. trump🤡 won’t support states with Covid but instructing local gov. To send COVID data to D.C.instead of the CDC. NO! Americans are resilient, electing local governments without a fake electoral college.We will manage!Just keep this maniac away from we the peo.
This is pathetic
What? How?
Trump's determination to make Covid-19 numbers disappear is only making things worse for all of us. Illusion, however, can not hide this no matter how hard he tries. He's going to regret this come Nov. So is the GOP. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
blabbypain THEN WHY AREN’T SUPPOSED NEWS AGENCIES SUING FOR FOIA? Why are YOU not doing anything? Aren’t YOU supposed to be the fourth pillar of democracy?
KatGodspell Surprise, surprise.
So send the data to WHO. Oh wait.
Imagine that. Now we get lied to again by the White House!
BeverlyCarter56 Gee what a coincidence....there are no coincidences. Suppressing the Covid19 data. Just like the GOP suppresses the Vote. GOPBetrayedAmerica
Surprising. Almost as if he wanted to hide it instead of improve it.
All that CDCgov data was/is spurious anyway.
Imagine my surprise
Are we surprised by this? It’s clearly an attempt to silence and discredit the data that shows how serious this pandemic is and how much drumpf has failed
There was a guy in FL that was killed in a motorcycle accident, it was reported as a COVID death. Which is worse, no information or incorrect information?
This is a disaster of epic proportions in the making. I don’t understand how the president can singlehandedly mandate this change with no oversight.
Nothing should be over science
Surprise! Now wait for the Trump Administration to come out and say the it's all lies. All data is available. Fake news.
Keep sending to CDC!
Uh-huh. The Trump administration is going to try to cover up this massive failure to govern. Meanwhile as hospitalizations continue to rise it will be evident, without the numbers, that COVID 19 is still here and raging.
So it’s already started
rebeccajoc Amazing how it is suddenly going away.
amandacarpenter Imagine spending time changing the figures rather than putting together a constructive plan to beat the virus.
BonniBK For everyone’s info: Johns Hopkins has been tracking & publishing COVID19 data since February. They have pledged to continue reporting. As government tries to curtain data, save this link to their interactive tracker: (map shown is Missouri, today)
If this is being hidden, which side would it help and who is hiding it? Now comes the question of Moles doing this so that it's not a simple thing to say that one side is responsible.
BonniBK Who's surprised? Show of hands.
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.
Gaslighting are us.
This is a scary and tragic turn of events. The fascist authoritarian control of important health data will result in confusion and harm to us all.
In NY Gov Cuomo has been cooking his numbers after he allowed thousands of flights in from the EU with sick passengers. Then the MTA spread COVID throughout the city. Then he put sick patients in nursing homes that killed thousands. That’s the truth.
GovernorTomWolf kick TeleTracking out of the state.
EXACTLY what we all knew would happen. Millions of us are exhausted from outrage overload, but this is a gigantic read flag. Data changes start on the states less likely to be noticed until it's eventually changed on all. Trump is lying & killing us for reelection. cc: CREWcrew
Like so many other brain dead schemes this administration has been a part of, this is of course going to be a failure. It will hurt the American people, and Trump will say he is doing a good job. If you are still on board with this guy, you haven’t been paying attention.
Welcome to Communist America, the new GOP agenda.
This is not a political game where suppression of data can be used for re-election. This is life and death for many communities. Without the proper data we have no way of tracking the virus. This is what the third world countries do not us. This is so upsetting.
sad! an infectious disease doctor in NYC recommends the John Hopkins site
Thanks Birx! You did it!
The CDC admitted they can't count. Every number you've heard in the last month was fake
Was there any doubt? Who didn’t think the data would be hijacked so Trump can obfuscate the true depths of this malaise? He must be removed.
Hmm hold on a minute while I put my surprise face on 🙄
JoyAnnReid amjoyshow AMJoy
kylegriffin1 maddow
Demand Feds Supply Masks and Sanitizer for Every Doorway
Surprise surprise
amandacarpenter Manipulated data, family members in Fl are reporting hospitals misclassifying deaths non related to covid in order to get their bonus. NYC did the same thing reason for the explosion in numbers not counting the mistakes made with ventilators. Nobody hears about them no more
I have been saying this since reopening. Missouri and Iowa are severely underreporting. Hospitalizations are bronchitis, pneumonia or undefined upper respiratory infection. Deaths are natural causes or pneumonia or heart disease.
Big Thanks to Dr Birx. It was her idiotic idea to by-pass the CDC because she doesn’t trust them. She’s a pathetic joke.
That's convenient. Hospitals all of a sudden don't have Data now that the CDC middle man is taken out. They lost thier cover. 😁
How reassuring to those from Missouri & Kansas. :(
This is bullshit and dangerous. Get it together trump administration. Your astounding incompetence and willful ignorance is costing American lives. realDonaldTrump senatemajldr OregonGovBrown SenSchumer RonWyden LindseyGrahamSC CDCgov
Doubtful
Of course it was. All you had to say was Trump administration then everything would make sense on why.
I stubbed my toe this morning and it was Trumps fault.
Oh.
.Why are we paying tax dollars for this garbage entity?! DefundNPR seriously Enough
amandacarpenter It’s all fuzzy math to begin with has been around long enough to know that expression and also to know better than turn itself into a propaganda rag
Blaming the President? Shocking!!
senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC Falsifying, losing or not collecting data, sounds like a crime, where is GOP
This is gonna cost Trump the bluehair vote.
Is anyone going to do anything about this? What is going on in this country? SenToomey
It's just the beginning. Much more to come.
So,Trump’s plan is working. No data=no cases. Nothing to see here. Wear your masks, social distance and vote this bastard out.
Hiding the numbers is what Trump does.
Here is what the Maine CDC provides to keep us up to date. Under the direction of nirav_mainecdc we see what they know. This example should be followed across the country as our case 's indicate.
You’re shocked HOW? Not surprising considering Fat Donnie has kept two sets of books for a LONG TIME!!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Credit due to Dr. Birx
If you don’t like what the numbers say about your performance, get rid of the numbers. If only employees have that same luxury when going through performance reviews.
We knew this would happen as soon as the CDC was bypassed. No big surprise that this administration wants to hide info so it can more easily lie to the People without any pushback. Typical authoritarian move!
Missouri is now officially the “Sorry, we can’t show you anything” state.
This administration is a danger to public health! Dear republican voters, the president doesn’t give a shit about you or your loved ones! WAKE UP!
As if the administration hasn’t mismanaged the crisis enough they’re going to make it even worse with this move.
🚨Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration's steps to HIDE and CORRUPT vital COVID19 CORONAVIRUS DATA and Information from Hospitals and the CDC / CDCgov is putting American Lives in DEADLY DANGER 🖥️
48 hours to reconfigure data feeds!?! What an asinine way to roll out a new program in the middle of a nationwide pandemic! Only someone who thinks they know everything would do this. We are definitely on our own, this administration has simply moved on to election mode.
Are republicans not concerned? This is not the path of the Republican Party, what happened to values & morals for a better America? There is no justification for this injunction and realDonaldTrump is putting America in danger, not just nationally but, globally!
realDonaldTrump maddow NicolleDWallace mmpadellan itsJeffTiedrich ScottPelley ABC NBCNews why is no one damning the Trump administration’s decision to take control over the COVID-19 data? On paper Trump made it disappear. But in reality it’s worse than ever! Speak up ppl
CDC is manipulating data.
Pandemic — SOLVED! Another win for the glorious, best in history Trump presidency. Promises made, promises kept.
Knowledge is power. Shift it to shift the power.
Someone needs to explain computers and the cloud to this administration. It's not going to be as easy to 'lose' data as they are hoping. Scientists, in spite of what the Republicans keep saying, are far smarter and more patriotic.
“Suddenly “
Suppression of data, of the free press to access data is a dangerous slippery slope
Just another tactic by a criminal administration. Justice will eventually catch up with all of them.
I’m sure Johns Hopkins will ultimately receive the data but I guess red states practice a different form of tabulation
How can something be suddenly incomplete
A scientist observes a fact and comes up with an explanation while a politically motivated person changes a fact to come up with an explanation.
The criminal in the White House keeps going lower and lower. At what point will the GOP realize he’s coming after them too?
George Floyd died of Covid per CDC guidelines. Let that sink in NPRKarens.
There's no bottom, is there?
What, like they are no longer counting positive antibody tests as “active cases”? Because that would really be refreshing..
This disaster is all a result of Trump's lack of vision. He could have been lauded as a hero, instead he chose the path of death and despair for Americans and is now a pariah to the nation. He continues to fail us every, single, frigging, day. TrumpVirus
Who knew 🤷🏻♂️?
Hiding your head in the sand isn't concealing your body, or making you disappear. So, the epidemics will continue ravaging communities and not knowing will only make it worse. And when they can handle it no more, they will turn against you. Be careful Trumps administration!
Surprise surprise surprise....
if anyone's curious about why cdc oversight is important; 'because states use cdc data in their people-dying-prevention-plans' seems like a pretty straightforward answer 😕
We must defend the republic
THIS is when we need something like wikileaks
Of course it is.
