At this point, testing has no purpose other than to count cases. That is, it wont help people recover, nor will it prevent people from getting sick. Contact tracing and other fundamental infection control measures sounds remarking like tracking every American and continuing a perpetual lockdown.
The Trump administration, meanwhile, understands that the country needs to get to work again. A full-blown depression, complete with stress-related diseases, suicide, substance abuse, and crime, will kill more people than the Wuhan virus ever could. While the CDC is focusing on one narrow issue, the Trump administration is looking at the big picture.
As the noose tightens on the coup plotters, it will be a scandal a minute from here on out.
Its gonna get wacky and weird.
If this is a free nation many politicians have gone way to far. While CDC and other knowledgable organisations should make their suggestions it should be the individuals choice as which ones to follow. Unfortunately the USA has numerous uncouth individuals. They will choose not to follow recomendations. But worse yet these anul orifices will violate the space of those trying to follow these suggestions intentionally.
and you wonder why the President no longer believes the CDC.
. I stopped reading as soon as I saw this. The only understanding I get from AP articles is how it is possible that half the country thinks that President Trump is terrible. Everything this half believes is based on slanted, biased, cherry picked etc so-called information.
Typical journalisps. A bunch of limp-wristed fags that never had the testicular fortitude to make a decision. Leaders, real men, begin with a concrete goal in mind. They take input from experts and other sources, analyze the input, and formulate several plans intended to meet the goal. Then they evaluate the pros and cons of the options. At this point a decision is made. Then they stand by it.
Experts are a small part of the decision making process. They are influencers. They are not principals in the decision making process, although they often think they are. But most leaders allow them to think so to keep the experts happy.
A Journalisp's greatest decision in life is choosing which words to use to bash Trump and his deplorables. They are not real men for they produce nothing in their lives on their own. They have no real world experience and don't take risks to better their life's circumstances. They work and live among others that think the same way which eliminates any risk associated with the drivel that they write. And as for the female journalists, they are not ladies.
If the CDC “guidelines” offered were anything like the earlier CDC “projections”, then Trump was right to deep-six them.
Worse than trash, they would have turned out to be sadly misinformed.
So the root of the story is that Trump aske them for guidelines. They gave them. He didn’t like them so he sh#tcanned them. End of story. He is not bound by their memos.
Supposed Scandal = Garbage News
TDS
On the MSN and other web “news” items they buried the intelligence community scandal leading to Flynn’s release and are pushing this BS story instead.

twerp soyporter: Following up on Jim's questions about getting back the economy - getting the economy started again: Does the president see the CDC guidelines as an obstacle to getting the country back up and running again? And if it does not see the CDC guidelines as an obstacle, why not release those guidelines to the public and also follow them as we move forward?
Super Kayleigh: So I assume you're talking about the guidelines that were widely reported about yesterday - about daycares and such? So I would ask you, you know - what's the definition of CDC guidelines? Is it something that the CDC director has actually seen?
I would endeavor to say - yes - is it something that a rogue CDC employee leaks to you guys? No, those aren't CDC guidelines - those are guidelines in draft form that a rogue employee has given you for whatever personal reason they've decided to do that.
Those guidelines are in the editing process. We want the American people to get as much information as they can possibly have at this time. That's why we have the phased re-opening guidelines - the data-driven guidelines.
Those CDC guidelines are going through an editing process, and when we have those, you guys will be the first to know.
