Trump Takes Control of COVID Data - But No Responsibility

[Elixir]

Trump Administration Strips C.D.C. of Control of Coronavirus Data

Because who better to keep the public informed than the guy who takes no responsibility, recommends injecting disinfectants, shoving light bulbs up people's butts, sweeping forests and nuking hurricanes?
Sure, he has lied to the public 18,000 times in three years, but we can trust that he won't be lying about how many new cases or how many deaths he has caused.

Hospitals have been ordered to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all patient information to a central database in Washington

I am dumbstruck that this so-called democracy is set up so that Big Brother can simple declare the dead to be alive and nobody is allowed to know any better.

The move has alarmed health experts who fear the data will be politicized or withheld from the public.

The new instructions were posted recently in a little-noticed document on the Department of Health and Human Services website. From now on, the department — not the C.D.C. — will collect daily reports about the patients that each hospital is treating, the number of available beds and ventilators, and other information vital to tracking the pandemic.

Stay tuned for the "miraculous" disappearance of the Trump Virus, as promised by Trump since February.
No, your Granny didn't die of the Trump Virus, it was pneumonia. Now get the fuck outa here.
