Redfield said the CDC's latest guidance was an attempt to place"an emphasis on testing individuals with symptomatic illness."
"The biggest Achilles' heel of the disease is that about 40 percent of people out there who get infected with this virus are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic," Dr. Carlos Del Rio, executive associate dean at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta."If they're still transmitting it and we don't know who they are, we're going to be in trouble."
The CDC does not mandate which people can or should be tested for the coronavirus. Those decisions are left to local and state health authorities, and are dependent, in some cases, on the availability of tests.
Therefore, it is possible, in some cases, to be tested too early. For example, a negative result on day four after an exposure could become a positive result on day 10.
Who cares. You can’t trust them now.
Will someone honestly get their act together.
Nothing subtle hear
Well, Corona does some GOOD, at least gives some folks some employment job income- that's nice.
America pls stop the bickering we need each other to actually make America great... the United States my key word United we all deserve a fair chance at the “dream”
Cover the hundreds of German doctors challenging the whole crisis.
Constantly evolving. Stop acting like Democrats our the entirety of EU isn't essentially the same. Dammit
the CDC was caught with the hand in the cookie jar. They need to resign. They have lost all credibility
The numbers are coming down and the Democrat mainstream media is getting nervous.
He’s a liar too!
double standard
The critique is about not updating the website? Obama spent $5B on the Obamacare site taking 3 years.
SoundSide24 I have thought for a few years that Redfield needs to be replaced. It has been a few years since they have adequately found the formula for the flu vaccines. He seems to blame everything on the lack of funds.
Too late. Already CORRUPT, with NO CREDIBILITY
The change was made to give cover to states that want to claim a decrease in testing so that they can fully reopen. With all the superspreader events there is no way the recent numbers are legitimate.

Plandemic
This is insane...The CDC needs to be independent from ANYONE running for office. Trump has already made 180k collateral damage for his own benefit
Our president talks about WHO being in China's pocket but totally ignores the fact that the CDC is in his. So, what's up with that?
If they don’t change the website then they’ve backed off nothing and are just pandering to the media because they got caught. Unacceptable.
