(32,003 posts)That is ground zero for lies and cover-ups and this disease. Of course no legal system there and whistleblowers are liquidated.

(32,626 posts)do they really have to go that far to get a sense of what is going on in this country? Maybe Russia, but whistleblowers there don't end up any better.

(24,653 posts)In the conference call today, the number of cases was the first thing the CDC reported, and press are on those calls.

(90,336 posts)But earlier this week, the agency announced that it would stop publishing negative results for the coronavirus, an extraordinary step that essentially keeps Americans from knowing how many people have been tested overall.
..
With more and more testing done at states, these numbers would not be representative of the testing being done nationally, Nancy Messonnier, the chief CDC official for respiratory diseases, said at the time. States are reporting results quickly, and in the event of a discrepancy between CDC and state case counts, the state case counts should always be considered more up to date.

(24,653 posts)Aggregate state numbers are more accurate because they are presumptive positives yet to be confirmed by the CDC. Once the CDC makes a confirmation, they are added to the national numbers.
Rank and file at the CDC are frustrated AF with leadership on this. Trump administration as politicized the F out of it.

(24,653 posts)The frustration is that there isn't much to report when testing isn't happening as it should. They are pissed off about the lack of data.
ETA: there is no consistent message and direction from the top hampering efforts of the experts
No surprise there
