Prize-winning journalists, me and Rachel Maddow raised some alarm flags about the CDC a couple of weeks ago; about how, under the Trump admin, it has become a spineless ghost compared to what it once was.

Now The Lancet, prob the most prestigeous publication for medical professionals worldwide, has also criticized the CDC; here's an article about what The Lancet put in their latest editorial:-

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...-journal-urges

Quote:

... new outbreaks are emerging in places such as Minnesota and Iowa – developments that The Lancet says are renewing questions about what it calls the Trump administration's "inconsistent and incoherent national response" to the crisis.

"The Administration is obsessed with magic bullets — vaccines, new medicines, or a hope that the virus will simply disappear," the journal states.

Seeking to lay a pile of critical failings at Trump's feet, the editorial — titled "Reviving the U.S. CDC" — says a federal agency that was once "the gold standard for global disease detection and control" has devolved into an "ineffective and nominal adviser" on the U.S. response to a disease that poses a public health threat of historic proportions.

The Trump administration has "chipped away at the CDC's capacity to combat infectious diseases" in a number of ways, The Lancet says.

It doesn't even mention the censorship of the 64-page set of precise and specific guidelines that The CDC produced a few weeks back. Businesses, schools, churches should be using to help them re-open safely, but instead people are getting infected, people are dying because the Trump admin is censoring science. Trump's Sharpiegate disgrace, his promotion of crank remedies have been embarrassing enough, but this time his policy of obscuring science is costing lives.

And yet if I set off a bomb in the Whitehouse I'll be labelled the bad guy.

You know what I think is the most horrible thing about the current American approach to the epidemic is that with so many state governments going along with Trump's "encouragements" to reopen the economy is that now those state governments are going to feel obligated to downplay any death spikes so that they don't look irresponsible for playing along so that the only way for this to end up looking bad for the government is if deaths spike so hard that it can't be ignored, otherwise an acceptable number of unnecessary deaths are going to be accepted by state politicians just so that they don't have to admit that they were just being led along by the nose. Human lives are going to be weighed against political embarrassment and be deemed an acceptable loss.

Probably not the answer anyone wanted to hear there.

We sure are a lot like we’re told China is like.

Florida is covering it up - not testing- not reporting - DeSantis is one lying piece of **** murdering despot ****

If we had quarantined at gun point and had MREs delivered by the national guard in hazmat suits, like I wanted, the virus would be contained - because it needs a ****ing vector
