The CDC really stabbed Trump in the back by having official death counts adding in probable, which should be possible.
April 10 we see top deaths, then a decline. April 14 we see a 50 percent increase by adding in a new group. Any claims about things getting better after April 10 get belittled.

@eladar saidIs this about ensuring Trump’s political well being ??

@joe-shmo saidThank you for clarifying the previous comment by another poster.
No... its just standard data collection procedure. The CDC leadership has been lax on passing consistent, and meaningful guidelines to the State Health Departments across the board on this issue.
So, the CDC didn’t stab anyone in the back ?

@mghrn55 saidThey are not helping the COVID situation (which is their primary function) with substantially less than adequate data collection guidelines and failed test development. That is the point. It has nothing to do with Trump. A failure to be transparent in data definition is far more damaging to the American publics confidence in the accuracy of what they are being told ( which will have negative effects in future CDC funding ), and botching the test development is more than disturbing. Its negligence.

@mghrn55 saidIdiots who believe the number of cases never went down bother me.
So what !!!
What is getting under your skin here ??
The number of deaths went up because they numbers have been inflated 50 percent with cases not originally counted.
49751 is the worldometer for US Deaths
If the new group was not added the total would be more like 34000.

@joe-shmo saidHaving a leader of a nation who has been all over the place and rarely on the same page as the experts who appear at the daily briefings isn’t helping either.

It was getting embarrassing watching his experts in viruses and infectious diseases grimace or bury their heads in their hands while a president tells the world how smart he is.
Or continuously get into spats with the media.
In front of a global audience. Although I don’t think it’s global these days.

@eladar saidI thank the experts who yanked him by the ear into a response.
Experts claimed the US could have 2.2 million people die from this.
You should be thanking Trump for saving 2.1 million lives.
That he wasted a month calling the pandemic a Dem hoax can be discussed later when this is all over.

@mghrn55 saidSo you thank Trump, he made the right decisions.

Congrats for giving Trump the praise he deserves.
Of course I do not believe he deserves praise, that 2.2 million number was a lie.
If it were true, Sweden would be getting wiped out by now.
