The CDC says it has been mixing together results from viral and antibody tests on its website, which experts call unhelpful and potentially misleading

DOJ warns Los Angeles officials that county's stay-home orders may be "arbitrary and unlawful"The head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division wrote in a strongly-worded letter Friday to Los Angeles officials that he was concerned that the mayor and county health director were taking"an arbitrary and heavy-handed approach to continuing stay-at-home requirements.”

“I think we have to all recognize that we’re not moving beyond Covid-19, we’re learning to live with it,” Garcetti said. Earlier this month, California began reopening the state’s economy, allowing some retail shops, manufacturers, and logistics businesses to return on May 8. At least 43 of the state’s 58 counties have been allowed to open even further, allowing additional retail shopping and dining in restaurants. Los Angeles, however, where more than 2,000 deaths linked to the coronavirus have been recorded, has moved more slowly.

They just want to delay it and make it seem more valuable. The is US is backwards

Can these ignorant mayors like the one of of HOUSTON stop talking about contact tracings as if it is effective. It will be only effective if you are keeping track and have data on who gets in contact with who. They just say contact tracing to act as if they are doing something.

Trump is turning the CDC into a big laugh. He has screwed up all of our agencies. We used to be real proud of the CDC, the FBI, our Intelligence Agencies, etc, they used to be the world's best. Now they are just one big laugh.

Its reported that some Governors, Trump, CEOs are purposely hiding or falsifying data on the number or location of Covid19 infections to try to trick people back to “normal”. If true & that fraud results in citizens deaths - they should be charged with MANSLAUGHTER

But what happened to the USA, was it a hoax? In Uganda our scientists are successfully using chloroquine with 100% discharge no deaths we recorded Are you too proud to learn from the right people?

What is far more misleading is CNN reporting new covid19 cases without reporting the “infection rate”, which is the ratio of new daily cases divided by total daily tests. CNN cannot be our ambassador to science when they mislead viewers.

If this is true and when people question the CDC we/they/him/her or I I guess everybody is wrong.

Good for CNN on reporting this. I assumed CNN would just broadcast the overall positive numbers to spread fear. Data collection for the pandemic has been a train wreck from the start; from recording deaths as with covid instead of from covid to this. Good data=good decisions

CNN downplays Biden's 'you ain't black' comments, avoids on-air coverage throughout the day

Potentially misleading? Give me a break. It was deliberately misleading. GovernorVA ‘s PHS did the same danged thing to deliberately make us think VA was doing way more testing than it was and to make it look like things were better (fewer positives). He had to apologize.

No longer at the centre No longer in control. The CDCgov seems to have forgotten how to C. CDC

Cuomo is responsible for up to 6,000 nursing home deaths. His excuse is laughable. Families need to get together and launch a class action against this idiot and sue him personally for millions in civil court.

Hey... if anyone here has contact with CNN, tell them BREAKING NEWS! Joe Biden is the Democratic Candidate for President. Apparently they don't know who he is.

We’ve known this to be the case for this entire BS pandemic.

So the CDC aren’t the experts? Fck your fake “experts”.

Fox News: CNN downplays Biden's 'you ain't black' comments, avoids on-air coverage throughout the day.

CNN is punching air right now having to report this lololzzz

experts are wrong, cdc, is right, it's that easy.

How any Black American could vote for this Old White Man (Biden) who fought against desegregation! Who feels he can say who is Black or Black enough when deciding who to vote for! Who uses an accent that he feels is needed so Blacks can understand what he’s saying!

China fault of course

How exactly do they mix tests on their website?

It does not fit your narrative so you have neglected this story

Trump really has those folks rattled. Sad that he decided to use them for his own political interest

At this point I’m not surprised. The CDC has flip-flopped stances on numerous aspects and has already fixed multiple mistakes. The bigger problem is people are living their life based exactly off what the CDC says in the moment and they can’t think for themselves.

At least it isn’t as bad as Iowa... Gov Reynolds ‘Test Iowa’ is a complete failure. Mobile test sites are a failure. Up to 50% fail rate in testing. Don’t even get me started on the messed up screening website. Don’t come to Iowa. It’s not safe.

Also unhelpful. Excluding the antibody test results when calculating the mortality rate.

So, once again, who knows what's going on? We need government agencies, especially those working on public health, to put out facts. You are really letting Americans down CDC.

CDC's erratic and overall shitty performance during the COVID19 crisis is proof positive that big gubmint isn't the answer. More ammunition for a TrumpLandslideVictory2020 over Bumbling Basement Biden.

'Unhelpful'? It's the antithesis of science.

Welcome to trumpworld. No!!!!

But it makes us look like we doing more testing so Trump can brag.

Fake news enemy of the people

The only expert my family and I need is the realDonaldTrump. The POTUS is always right.

The American people suffered because of this media bullshit

news has been mixing together results from their facts and their wishes, which experts call unhelpful and potentially misleading.

“Potentially misleading?” How is giving incorrect data anything but misleading?

This is to the point of being negligent both federal and state health levels

God damn u donald trump for this trumpandemic. The biggest failure in American history.

CDC was perhaps the last institution we could rely on. And now, that’s gone too. What a clown show we’re living in.

Orange Corona Syphilis

Wait huh

Unhelpful indeed.

And we trust the death count isn't trumped up 🙄

Oh FFS. Get your Shit together!!

CDC Advice On Surface Spread Of COVID-19 'Has Not Changed,' Agency SaysThe CDC says it has not changed its guidelines on the spread of coronavirus on contaminated surfaces. Recent news reports suggested it had. The virus doesn't spread easily on surfaces, the agency says, but people should still disinfect dirty surfaces. This is so misleading......One day yes, one day no. Wash hands is all I can say. What if, hear me out, the reason it doesn't spread easily on surfaces is because people are disinfecting them profusely. The CDC is now just a political mouth piece

Trump pushes CDC on reopening churches guidance, says important to nation's 'psyche'Framing the reopening of churches as “important in terms of the psyche of our country,” Pres. Trump told reporters that he was urging the CDC to issue guidance specific to places of worship as soon as possible. I am all for regular church services, for mega-churches returning to normal, and the president not wearing a mask. Because of course, that circus of worshippers he has hanging out at the White House at any given time are whining at him about church. Damn shame they feel they need to congregate to be one with their god thing. He knows nothing of religious faith...it is a power tool for him.
