I called our local hospital concerned citizens PR line and told them I hope the refuse Trump’s mandate and the lady sounded like she thought I was crank. I could hear her southern pro-trumpiness over the phone.

Hospitals simply cannot comply with an order to sever ties with the CDC. It’s not just covid. Respect for the CDC’s earned authority protects us from all health dangers.

Also check your local media and government sites for statistics locally.
Thanks OH. For some reason, a tendency I've found is that when I click on many links related to cases, I'm not always presented with a broad view of the deaths (sometimes the deaths are very contextualized - given state, given country, etc. but I want to see how the numbers look on a timeline).

Likewise, the same goes for when I click on links about deaths.

CDC looks like a good place to get the stats I'm looking for. Unfortunately, my news viewing habits are very ingrained, I'll have to implement the CDC into my habits whenever I'm interested in Covid stats.

That got a hearty chuckle out of me.
