Last month, the White House told hospitals to stop reporting critical data into a CDC system they had used since the beginning of the pandemic, which was analyzing the data and posting thrice-weekly updates on a CDC website. Instead, hospitals have had to start reporting information on how many intensive care beds were available, for example, and how much personal protective equipment was in stock to a newer system built by a private contractor,, or directly to their state health departments.
"Many hospitals, ours included, have struggled to use the new system," Chopra said,"and also to understand how best to extract data from it and use it to understand capacity, use rates [for protective equipment], and the prevalence of infection."NPR analysis showed Birx said Monday the information collected through the HHS reporting system is proving useful."For the first time every day, I can see every new admission across the country, and that has been extraordinarily important," she said.
HHS said Birx's comments do not constitute a shift in policy."The process for COVID-19 data reporting has not and is not changing," said a statement from Michael Caputo, HHS assistant secretary for public affairs, in an email to NPR.
Resign Debbie Birx, you are just a Trump enabler and allow him to propagate lies while 175,000 Americans die of the coronavirus, most of them because of your boss.
This is what happens when you do not have a national strategy for testing, tracing and isolating, no comprehensive plan to deal with the pandemic. These people are clueless ... Eye on the plow.
i thougtht she was in the idea of diverting info from CDC? or was she just the fall guy? what is this poor woman accomplishing?
At this moment it would actually be better to STFU. Anything you say looks like a mockery to those who have died because of your boss’ incompetence and political compromising of the CDC; and, a further erosion of the credibility of epidemiology, medicine, and science in general.
Because their substitute was a complete waste of our money?
The administration is in charge of the data and this is why the numbers are trending downward. It is a lie.
Sadly, Dr. Bird now suffers from a lack of credibilty, after staying silent on WH missteps for far too long.
What is realDrBirx 's title in TrumpCrimeSyndicate ?
Nothing that comes of out the WH is true.
I don't know about that, but I LOVED the interview with GeoRebekah on the New Adnormal. She had some very provacative information about how some states are tracking hospital data. After watching Arizonas numbers change back and forth, I am inclined to believe HER...
Trump seemed pretty paranoid about the “left” tampering with COVID-19 data. IMO, he gives his opposition too much credit for their strategic thinking. The establishment is pretty much hammer and nail, with no finesse.
CBS News legal analyst said the chances of Mr. Trump being charged with CRIMES goes DOWN dramatically if he is reelected in 2020. Orange 🍊 dude is SCHEMING/PLOTTING 24/7 and OVERTIME...with (RUSSIA and whoever) to stay in office!
The CDC shouldn't have to create backchannels to control diseases in the U.S.A..
How much did Trump's donor make on the 1 month contract?
Sailor Loon. That outfit.
No one believes what Dr. Birx or Trump says. She tossed any credibility she had in the garbage standing silent while Trump let thousands die
Coalminetweety Nobody believes Dr. Scarf.
CDC masks deception and the WHO with this criminal Birx. CitizensArrest --realDrBirx
Too late Dr Scarves you have betrayed the American people
Cosplay?
So Trump will be promoting HIS new hospital tracking system on the Covid19 he failed to contain? That’s just a tad ironic.
She lost my trust.
It's almost September. IT'S SLIGHTLY LATE
