@luckytran CDC got tired of having a real map disproving the cooked-books "community levels" that tops out at orange? 🤣

Search CDC coverup on any social media; all you'll see is bots pretending the virus doesn't exist. Search long-term damage, or immune damage, wrt COVID-19, and you get more bots spreading disinfo about the vaccines. This is probably deliberate. The talking points of bots and think tanks are chosen carefully.

They know what they're doing; we know it, too. We gotta stop them!✊

@luckytran If it’s not in the media it doesn’t exist for millions of Americans.
@luckytran Well, I guess if you don’t bother to calculate a metric, it doesn’t exist!

More confirmation that we are increasingly on our own.

@luckytran

@luckytran well there's my excuse for never removing my respirator in public

@luckytran The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not be able to control, prevent, or even fully know about the disease they’re aware exists and have no idea about the long term implications for infection.

FWIW, HHS says only some state reporting may be impacted. I’ve interpreted that to mean states that voluntarily disclose. They also say reporting will likely be delayed.

@luckytran of course they can't. We're getting too close to the next presidential elections. The CDC has become more and more political and less interested in disease prevention and control. Perhaps somebody should sue them to change their name under some of the false advertising laws. I think they are hoping people won't remember this.
@luckytran Really makes that whole “calculate your own risk” thing possible, eh?

@luckytran @kirt

unable or not allowed?
