Such spin in that little word. Was it "quietly" because there was no press conference detailing the update of posted information? "Quietly" because CDC is trying to pull something? Gee, how about "quietly" because not every jot and tittle of our evolving understanding requires front page public notice?

"Quietly". Feh. These people should go fuck themselves. Quietly, of course.
