CDC launches disease forecasting center to warn of health threats

Jordane Domain gets a COVID-19 test done by a healthcare worker in North Miami, Fla., on January 13, 2022.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched a new center on Tuesday that aims to model and predict the path of infectious diseases like Covid, then relay that information to the public along with federal, state, and local governments.

Officials likened the center to a kind of National Weather Service for infectious diseases. In the same way that the weather service warns people about approaching hurricanes, they said, the CFA could give people advanced notice about outbreaks. During the first Omicron wave, George added, the CFA gave government leaders"several weeks of advanced notice of the timing of the surge." That influenced policies on boosters, travel restrictions, and Covid testing in schools.

"Right now, CDC does not have the ability or the authority to direct public health data collection," Dr. Caitlin Rivers, CFA’s associate director, said. That limitation, she added,"can be quite a pinch point."

A drug ZYESAMI-AVIPTADIL existed year ago. studies show its effectiveness and safety in severely ill patients. the FDA and the government have rejected it and because of it many serious people who could have had one last chance to live, are not here today..FDA this is your fault

With what data? 😑
