Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

Michael Caputo, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the department, confirmed the change first reported by The New York Times earlier in the day, saying in a statement that the"new faster and complete data system is what our nation needs to defeat the coronavirus and the CDC, an operating division of HHS, will certainly participate in this streamlined all-of-government response. They will simply no longer control it.

Read MoreEarlier Tuesday, four former CDC directors blasted the administration's efforts to disregard and politicize guidelines from the agency in a scathing Washington Post op-ed.The four former CDC officials warned against what they called a"tragic indictment" of the CDC's efforts as President Donald Trump and top coronavirus task force officials seek to reopen the nation's schools.

And this is why

Cool cause trump supports Americans all you news and government centers are corrupt look at the previous CDC DIRECTOR who said flu sits are good for infants and pregnant mothers. This is the deep state. Angela now works at Merck’s the same vaccine manufacturer. Why don’t you re

That’s because the public needs the truth disseminated!

USA = Banana Republic

No, fuck that, we need a physical response right fucking now.

Maybe we can agree that Government spending can be cut somewhere? Do we need both?

LiveTV RT : Administration launches coordinated attack on Dr. Fauci

This is b's we all know why don the con wants to hide the cases. This is an outrage and the hospitals should send it to both.

Of course ::

well if the numbers can't be trusted anymore, assume the worst be safe

Folks let’s make sure our reps in Congress hear from us on this!

WT actual F?

Another fake news from ! Like always.

The things he does to cover up a lie! Out of site out mind SHAMEFUL.

TitusNation I am just super excited to see the trumpers spin this as a win

Isn’t this what dictators do?

Dictatorship.

So stupid - no good reason for this other than to fudge / alter numbers - Trump as usual has only one motive, hide the Truth - and America keeps letting him do it. realDonaldTrump

How is this even possible? It’s outrageous.

it's a miracle... covid is disappearing...

And Congress can do nothing

Is this even enforceable?

People already know the count & that u can’t believe anything out of the WH.....Too late 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The worst decision EVER!!!

So now a crew of MORONS get the data. Donny is determined to turn this country over to Putin. There is NO rational reason on Gods Green Earth to cut out the preeminent Disease organization on the planet, NONE!

One more benefit of a nationalized health care system...consistent testing and reporting methods on a national scale.

This is dangerous. Liberate the CDC.

Unbelievable.

That must be the wall he built

He'll lie about the death numbers to be reelected

I never thought that of would see the end of the world in my lifetime. I’ve never even seen Paris 😔

Cc: CDC

Fixing stupid...is?

It’s hilarious that mature intelligent adults actually try to pawn off anything reported by cnn as truth.

Florida labs released false testing data. The testing numbers in the month of July are inflated numbers by 10x. 98% positive tests was actually 9%. Perhaps this process will allow confirmation of the testing results before the media passes this data to the public.

Just close the whole damn thing then, what's the fucking point

This makes no sense

More LIES TO BE TOLD. Please help the people.

How is this legal and even possible? We already know that they’re going to hide the numbers and lie because he doesn’t want prowl to know how many cases there are.

What’s stopping the hospitals from also sharing with the CDC?

'I’m not going to sit here with no medical degree, listening to you with no medical degree, with an American flag behind you, smoking a cigar, acting like we know what’s up better than the CDC' - Bill Burr

Outrageous.

The information is going to the department of Health and Human Services. The CDC is under them. This is more complex than the headline reads.

Trump will be able to manipulate the numbers to deny the killer virus even exists. We’ll all have to get our info directly from local hospitals and local government health organizations.

wtf

Should they be sent to both?

This is straight up tyranny and murder. We must do something immediately.

3 Our federal.government, Trump, wanted nothing to do with guidance & responsibilitg.for ANY part of COVID-19, the leadership in all of America's care &.guidance as the virus tore through.our nation & ravaged Americans to death, to the tune of 135, 000 plus. I will fight it!!

trump intends to dismantle CDC. He’s an autocrat Autocrats dismantle or kill those who make them angry, disagree with them, they fear they he can’t control. He pulled out of WHO, then kills CDC, then all Health info will be dreamt up in his insanity. This is a madman. TrumpVirus

He needs data quickly to advise all his friends to sell their stocks just before the next wave hits

This is public info. It should go directly to those that need and won’t skew public info. Tell Trump to suck it.

What you describe is illegal under HIPAA. They can report certain metrics, but they cannot share identifying information without the express permission of the patient.

Is this not a crime against humanity

What the fuck is going on in this country? Where the fuck is the outrage Why is this Orange mutherfuckin playing games during a pandemic. Why the hell do we have government agencies if their powers are usurped by The President. This is shameful and corrupt.

REMOVE HIM

HHSGov corruption from the top down

we need a nonprofit research group to emulate the reporting the CDC is supposed to do.

This is fucking ridiculous!

This is a problem. A serious problem.

🤡 just can't resist cooking the books to make himself look better. Good luck with that. The truth will come out.

Send it to both.

Skepmi People, remember this! As of today we will no longer get the actual numbers cause it just disappeared!

Dotart Trump failed misserably to control the Covid-19. Now he tries to manipulate the data by sidestepping CDC. This will never work Donnie!

Grrr 😡

Hmm let’s hope there’s a smart insider that continues to send copies to the CDC, otherwise we fuckd

That's fucking bullshit, and the hospitals should band together and refuse to send their data to the criminal Trump admin! They want nothing more than to hide the real virus numbers so that Dictator realDonaldTrump can boast about 'falling' numbers. TrumpIsACompleteFailure

I’m pretty sure this is what’s happening in China and Russia.

Poof… This is how it disappears like a miracle 😂 A con man selling magic beans is in charge

. CDC has FAILED.

The CDC must not comply with this directive from the Trump Administration! I am a nurse who has been working since the start of the pandemic! You will fail all healthcare workers by giving into Fascism!

Then the truth and accuracy of the CDC will not be transcribed by the democratic socialist media to help their favorite candidate the democrat.

DJHJamesDeanFan Fake data and Fake doctors.Trump's life and Family is fake

The move could make data less transparent to the public at a time when the administration is downplaying the spread of the pandemic, and threatens to undermine public confidence that medical data is being presented free of political interference and Trump deceit.

I can’t say how many ways this is wrong.

Hmmmm...can you say cover up?

So much for transparency. How does one trust this admin.?To give vital info to a bunch of liars!

Can someone this to the SCOTUS for checks and balances

Can they not send data to two places?

So...like they do in other authoritarian governments like China or Iran where death rates are completely out of whack with the rest of the world - got it!

Hospitals should send the data to both places....this would get around Trump’s cover up.

I foresee an incredible decline in reported COVID cases. KarnacTheMagnificent

going to manipulate data

This is wrong! He is not a dictator so why does he get always with this stuff🤬

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

What

HHSGov JUST SAY NO TO TRUMP. You serve the American people first, because your title is...wait for it... HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES. Be on the correct side of history. Trump condemned China for withholding CoronavirusPandemic data. How can you allow it on your watch?

Why so he can lie about the numbers to us. He is so corrupt.

So now the propaganda America disinformation she numbers begins

Someone needs to challenge this in court.

'The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests' Likely a political decision. No consistent reports since Feb. The reporting workload is likely not sufficiently funded. HHS is not likely to do better.

Why not let hospitals send to CDC, and let CDC send to database? Because trump wants to suppress the numbers, of course. He will tell you it is disappearing every day.

Absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever seen

Despot's playbook

If the WhiteHouse can't control COVID19, they'll try to control the information for suppression purposes.

What can be done about it? Albeit; the move that the Administration made by goading State Governors into exerting thier powers to handle the pandemic on a state level, now seems usurped by The Administration by this Autocratic move...

Why? So they can censor and make up data? What is this, the United States of the Soviet Union?

Back up his lieing

RomoMalo

Can we do both?

So good

This is a direct HIPAA violation, it has to be

I cannot see how this is legal

This is a dictator controlling America.

Here's some data, Trump, 00100 !

The CDC is a division of HHS, I'm confused.

abc7marc This man is insane!

I am now officially convinced that trump wants to kill us

When you have realDonaldTrump adminstration snooping around for info (hospitalised one at that) who needs to worry about Russia or China to steal citizens secrets. A morally bankrupt adminstration attempt to manipulate data so that the POTUS can work out what to say to public

Scary and Foolish. I smell a Rat here. We need a solid National Plan!! With experts.

This should NOT be allowed to happen!

Wow.. we are all screwed!!! Jerri_Lynn25 houstonjeh67 Robanderson94 shortylegs BIGIRVSATX1 mhouston0

WE CAN'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DISHONEST & DOESN'T MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON FACTS! EVERYTHING DECISION IS POLITICAL & ONLY BENEFITS 1 MAN! OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN CRIPPLED PURPOSELY 'SO IT'S EASIER FOR TRUMP TO CONTROL'! THIS IS A DEADLY MISTAKE!!!

Noooooo, he wants to hide the numbers even more. Don’t let him get away with this

If we don’t report it, it will go away.

The CDC employees are signing a petition stating that racism is public health crisis.

GatesHerscher Cool

If there was a lake full of polio, an area full of smallpox, or an irradiated field, and the government didn't tell people and even encouraged them to play and swim in all that... Where r the lawyers?

Right?

Miraculously the numbers will go in reverse 🙄🙄🙄🙄

If I can see tRump's tax returns he can see my medical info

This will backfire like pathetic Bible photo op. The press, as it turns out is still free (despite GOP attempts), and they will shine a light on any whitewashing the admin wants to attempt.

This needs to not happen. There will be lies and distortion of statistics that will not help public health.

Isn't that all just one big HIPPA violation?

He can't do that.

I hope Trump’s support completely bottoms out. I am so sick of seeing serious issue after serious issue being politicized by him; along with his attempts to distract, provide disinformation, and or straight up lie about issues such as Covid

Well, now you will see the numbers go way down to support his 'we're do great' lie.

Good!

They should defy this order

wtaf

😡🤢

Scotus SCOTUSblog this should be against the law on an epic scale No administration should be able to control the narrative especially an IllegitimateAdmenistration or an IllegitimatePresident aka DrippingIn🇺🇸🩸aka realDonaldTrump who’s still committing genocide on 🇺🇸people

Just like that the numbers will dramatically decrease magic

Its more safely in some case but it is not give importance for recovering patient which will not be absolutely good action in terms of securing good health. I am not strongly agree at this taking action

Why would Health Information EVER go to non-medical personnel rather than the CDC. There is not even remotely a reasonable explanation for this! The White House is filtering important health data to the CDC in a pandemic? This is way too much, this is endangering lives

Welcome to North Korea Trump Supporters!

This just does not seem right! Possibly not even legal. It’s private medical records.

Is it worth explaining that the CDC is already part of HHS and already part of 'the Trump administration'?

Is this even legal?

Welcome to communist USA. Where the President wants to tell you what he wants.

That’s lovely where fuckeddd!!!

I don’t want this corrupt administration that close to my health data. They will misuse this information. They will spin it. They will lie about it. They will use it to support their false narrative. They are completely untrustworthy from the top down. TrumpVirus

Holy Shit & on behalf of the rest of the world........... America, you’re screwed.

This is how trump wins and how America loses. And dies.

Yay! Trump will find the corruption!

Numbers don't like government and CNN & main stream media. Check out the numbers, they don't lie. And why are they not reporting that closed cases now outnumber Active cases by a 62% to 38% of total case load.

Unless Congress legislates this directive, healthcare institutions are legally able to ignore this WH command.

What could possibly go wrong?

Noooooo!

Chernobyl is the shame of the Sovieti...WAIT!!!!!!

TyphoidDonny finally found a way to make coronavirus disappear.

This is exactly what Jair Bolsonaro, tin-pot dictator and Trump’s role model did to Brazil. It can’t be allowed to stand. The SenateGOP suck in their collective sphincters and say nothing. Vote the traitorous GOP out of office!

And the cover up begins (I mean continues!)

Why? Can hospitals copy the CDC?

WHAT

The most transparent administration. Yeah right 🙄

that just says first it doesn't say that second they can then send it to CDC, or can they?

I’m trying to find out if hospitals must report infectious diseases to the CDC as a matter of their licensure/accreditation? Seems like that’s something that would be mandatory. 🤔

You know why? So Trump can twist the facts and keep the truth from the American people.

Someone please explain to me how this is legal...

It's an attempt to skew the numbers and distract from the election. This is designed to kill and hurt.

This is really beyond- I hope someone steps in and says something about HIPPA- and protect this patient information

What in the holy hell is going on down south?!?!

Everyone saying the media is lying to oust trump. But like what do you all think trump do. ALSO LIE to boast about how great he is. Y’all gotta realize. No matter who had the results. We WILL NOT get the real 100% numbers.

Well if this doesn’t look shady af then I don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trump (who paid $25 mil to settle a fraud charge while Pres elect), also claimed the real unemployment number was 25%. It suddenly fell to 4% (mnths after taking office). In reality, unemployment only fell 1 pt, during his ENTIRE term. Trump can’t be trusted to disseminate data.

Egads.

Looks like the cases will be goin down soon.

Yay. This means that within the week we will have zero new cases & zero deaths

Controlling the data is all he wants. Absolutely Unacceptable

Can John Hopkins still collect and disseminate the data?

Let’s see how this story looks in a few days. Because, you know, the CDC is part of the Trump administration.

A control freak!Its away to downsize and manipulate information in DTs favor. How could this lack of leadership put America in so much danger.We dont need enemies we have our own walking virus DT working with Covid 19.Covid 19 will disappear when DT goes away.Thats a fact!🇺🇸

WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!

So that’s what the administration is doing to stop the spread

How is this even justifiable as necessary? Corrupt government going to continue being corrupt.

I thought we didn’t want government running our healthcare?

This is absolutely ridiculous! Another way to hide the facts,

OUTRAGEOUS! How can anyone be OK with this? 45 will hide the true numbers, science and facts - and its 1918 all over again.

Great! Now we’ll never get accurate statistics!

Are you kidding me. They should be rerouted through a third party without political ties or bias. You're not exactly a paragon of truth.

I’m sick of this fresh bullshit

realDonaldTrump POTUS foxandfriends GOP HouseDemocrats OccupyDemocrats WhiteHouse HouseGOP SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden DonaldJTrumpJr VP na·ive·té : Lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment. Make American Great Again Vote no confidence in Donald Trump NoConfidence

No one believes anything from the Whitehouse anyway.

Will ONE reporter ask WHY they are pulling this shit? Just ONE?

Not only is this craven, dangerous and immoral, this has got to be illegal

Cleavon_MD What could that be about?

Who among us doesn’t think aGolf Twittler plans to manipulate the data? Jesus, someone please do something! Congress? Senate? Hello⁉️

And one day it will just go away...damn he’s good 🤦‍♂️🤬 13 times Trump said the coronavirus would go away via YouTube

I don’t want my protected health information going to the White House and actually didn’t authorize this. I want my info going to the CDC so the trained professionals can utilize in a far better manner than those who don’t need it. Why is this allowed? What can we do?!

And hospitals that fail to comply wont get Remdesivir. Remember he had the US buy all available supplies of it. I hope every fucking person who voted for him gets COVID. Forget Trump now. The deaths and life altering complications from COVID are on YOU.

FACT: Covid, like everything in the universe, only exists once you or someone close to you is personally affected by it. Until then it is imaginary, and other people's empirical observations of it can be dismissed as a hoax.

Heads popping and conspiracy theories are a flying never ends the BS everytime the current administration acts on any policy 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️TDS rampant

KushnerCoverup

What are you trying to hide

d_overlord What would happen if they said no? Why does no one just refuse?

CDC has lost credibility.

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden NYGovCuomo

This is insane. They better not give in to this tyrant

He is going to “cook the books” just like he does with his business.

I think hospitals should send their data to the CDCgov and the NIH despite HHSGov or at least as well as... Spread the word. RESIST!

Send it to both at the same time. People who are at risk deserve to know what is going on regardless if they support Trump or not. I cannot trust the administration to be honest so why allow this?

More attempts to cover up and deceive. This must end.

Wow. This man really will do WHATEVER it takes, and kill however many it takes, at the slim chance of getting re elected. This is appalling.

Very bad

I have a problem with this, both CDC and White House can get the data. But there is a duty to the American people to share that data with the American people. We the people should have access to unaltered data.

genocide

Fuck them

Send the data to both the CDC (first) & then to his database. Why is everyone so hellbent on following his orders? Because he’s “the president”? Let him try to shut down all the hospitals & see what happens. It would be different if he was a responsible & qualified leader.

How is this legal?

Will anybody be surprised if the new stats show a miraculous turnaround?

What steps is the government taking to maintain HIPAA compliance?

This is fucked up beyond words. What country is this again? It sure doesn't look like America.

Well there goes any semblance of accurate data.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

I hope anyone complicit in this manipulation of data is tried for crimes against humanity.

That's what they think. The hospitals will still be sending info to CDC as they should. Journalist and major hospitals will also obtain the info. This admin thinks ppl r going to trust them 🤔

The man is delusional can't somebody just step in and have him committed observation

This is the easiest way to bend the curve. Trump has created a new department. The pinocchio institute of public health will distribute data. Roger stone and mike flynn will be the chief information officers.

Straight out of Russia. Hide the truth.

Pedinska So pretty soon it will be cured by...not reporting the numbers. Yeah, is it fascism yet?

People are going to die because of this. Don’t we have a right to this data? Dumb question. We no longer have rights.

I can't think of any good reason the Whitehouse would do this.

This is a Hippa violation

This is an outrage. This country needs transparency and not the known lies and manipulation of data that realDonaldTrump is known for.

I guess we will soon be seeing substantial reductions in both COVID-19 infections and deaths, all due to the Herculean efforts of the Trump administration. No need to pay any attention to those refrigerator trucks parked at the local hospital

😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀

Fatídico 😧 Good luck w/that.

They do this to hide information in the number of deaths shame on the white house

Another way President Trump is controlling information.

WTAF?

So, what you’re saying is, we have officially entered the worst hellscape in world history

I see zero issues with this being a problem

Why can’t they send the info to both CDC and Trump administration? I don’t trust anything from this group of yahoos working for Trump!

This is bullshit when is he going to be stopped. Its worsened every day. Gosbhelp us all. We will never no how many people die.

Sounds like we now have a fully blown dictator in office.

This is just simply a US President attempting to control information so he can spin whatever he likes. Wake up America, this is straight from the dictator’s playbook.

Controlling the numbers...

Look who’s promoting fake news now

Knowing this is a way to manipulate the truth .. we must assume every figure .. every data .. everything that comes from anyone associated with this Administration is false and manipulated.

Remember when the Chinese — already after raising the alarm — took one week to confirm human-to-human transmission of the virus and it was some sort of scandal? Massive scandal-after-scandal in the US really puts the things into perspective, huh?

An easy way to cook the books

'rerouted to' is a weird way of saying 'manipulated by'

OMG

Watch out for the presidential sharpie

So without looking at the comments who here thinks the covid numbers will change dramatically under HHS governance 😂. You really couldnt make this up! The U.S has the most cases, the most deaths, the most new infections, surely trump wouldn't want this to all go away would he?

This can not stand

They could sue?

strombo USA has one the best presidents in this planet today, don't get it twisted americans. You're lucky!

Hopefully the hospitals will refuse to comply

Well the number will magically be 0 by Friday and the US population will have dwindled significantly and this administration will say it was all the Mexicans being deported

This seems normal

Just like that , no fever, no cough, no 😷

SenToddYoung SenatorBraun RepJimBaird you are such a disappointment 😞

How........convenient.

No numbers coming from the Trump administration can be trusted. This means we gave to wait for a publicly available vaccine with 95% effectiveness in order to return to work/school.

Obscene. Congress should act!

🤦🏾‍♀️This has to be stopped!

Wow. Can you imagine this information landing on Trump's desk? Given the dude's inability to tell the truth, COVID will magically be eliminated by next Tuesday.

I have no problem with where the data goes, if keeping it in one central place helps it to be better organized and analyzed...but something tells me that's not the real goal here...

HHSGov SpeakerPelosi CDCgov CDCDirector WhiteHouse VP DrAnthonyF WHY? Trump said the “15” cases will be gone very soon. It’s called the Center for Disease Control! Trump can’t even control himself on Twitter let alone DISEASE. s should be public & with the SCIENTISTS

The trump administration will now fake all of the numbers and COVID-19 will 'miraculously be gone' by mid October just in time for the election. This is utterly ridiculous! How is this even legal in our country!?!? Let's hope hospitals disobey and publish their own numbers!

Wtf this is the sketchiest shit I've ever seen. If he does this shit he truly can't criticize other countries for not reporting all cases.

America continues its descent into madness. TrumpVirus

I am tearing up over this. I was reading tweets that people are happy about this change. How on earth do you believe the Trump administration more then doctors and specialists in public health? weshouldknowthetruth coverup TrumpIsNotWell

Who owns the data of hospitals?

Miraculously, covid deaths will cease and all will be well in planet America.

Fascism begins like this.

Oh. That’s cool. It’s not like this administration has been a lying propaganda machine all along. What could possibly go wrong?!

why don't the dems sue to stop this?

SenBooker SenatorMenendez GovMurphy What are we going to do about this?

Where is Congress & the Senate? They MUST 🛑 this, somehow. There is so much at steak. Deaths, continued illness. Continue to send it to the CDC. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!

So now 45 can manipulate the data and let the American People suffer so it can retain power...sound like russia much?

What kind of corrupt crap is this? Is the WH the most qualified to assess medical data and crunch statistics? Oh wait, Jared....

Because realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse and PressSec have the expertise and the high moral standards to better handle the data. Bahahahah. Oh my god they will kill us all. How is this ok?

Is that fascism? How is that legal? I don’t understand or identify with this America.

Good morning!Now WE live in a dictator country lead by a monster call Trump!no more data reveal in hospital from now on!no more death numbers!everything will be hidden!Welcome the new Dictatorship USA 🇺🇸 of realDonaldTrump ,a serial murder,Racist and criminal ignorant President!

Public health data suppression during a deadly pandemic with at least 140k Americans dead already is conspiracy to commit mass murder - aka genocide

Black sharpie time.

Every hospital across the U.S. needs to revolt and send it to the CDC anyway. Enough of the corruption from the WH

RIP 🇺🇸

How about questioning the reasoning, the efficiency, the jurisdictional authority to even make such an 'order' of medical facilities?

Center for disease control ...yeah, who would want them actually having the facts to be able to analyze & control the disease? Nah, the WhiteHouse should be the one to make all medical decisions, since as trump says, he's a super genius on the subject

This is out of character for Trump! He must not have the power to fire remove, and replace CDC staff with his Special Brainless loyal People. This part is in character of Trump! He will stop at nothing to munipulate and suppress COVID data!

So now we’ll get skewed numbers that make it look like things are getting better and better. By the time November comes Covid will have disappeared “like a miracle”.

Wait! WTF

Why aren’t you reporting Hospitals aren’t under law to report to Trump’s propaganda machine but can still report to CDC.

This is pure proof of the fascist regime

Now the virus 🦠 will be shhhhh! 🤫 Don’t tell them! let them all die!

How are Americans putting up with this? President Trump is creating a genocide. Is there not a provision of emergency powers to remove him? How can CDCDirector just keep nodding in Agreement standing by while hundreds of thousands of Americans will die Watching in horror from 🇨🇦

So now the white house can fudge the US Covid-19 figures. The US doctors and cdc staff should just stop work en masse to make it clear that the US has now fully made the pandemic a political tool. Let the politicians handle it now.

We are all FUCKED NOW

What else is new. trump is trying to hide the real data so his lies go unchallenged.

What's to stop hospitals from ignoring this and providing their data directly to the CDC?

Welcome to North Korea, ladies and gentlemen.

Next will be: - Jobs Report

The CDC is a lifeline for our health. He is not a President. A want to be dictator

What’s he trying to hide?

This is like to send patient data to insurance company.

Red flag!

What could go wrong....said no one EVER! Lord save us.

Now we can’t believe this data. They will distort and manipulate it.

WRONG!! This is soooooo wrong and will kill more people! What the hell?

Continuing their efforts to deceive the nation.

But not after being reported to local public health departments correct?

Can't hhs get it thru cdc? It can be electronic, it's like magic.

It's a more efficient way for trump's goons to corrupt the data. trump's such a nitwit he thinks that if he changes the data the number of deaths will magically go down. When the body bags are piled up outside every hospital, even trumpists won't believe it's just a bad cold.

WTF! TrumpLies TrumpsVirus

US fake data will bring disaster to the world

Wow, America is becoming more and more like a dictatorship which each passing day.

Not Good !

Why?... This is not okay WhipClyburn CarolynBMaloney Oversight

Governors DeSantis and Kemp have been manipulating stats to make numbers look better than they are for a while now. The administration seems to be learning from their minions.

Nothing screams COVER UP louder than trying to hide the data. Stay on this and make them reverse the decision.

RonaldKlain How can this be legal

I'm sick to my stomach right now. Fucking Castro has taken over our country.

One of many schemes Trump is trying to steal election with.

WE ALREADY KNOW THIS ADMINISTRATION LIES. Doctors and hospital administration will get the REAL data out one way or another.

Why so president Dump can change them.

Trump understood he made a big mistake and that a lot of people are going to die in the next months (not that he cares). He knows numbers are going to be awful by November and instead of putting all the efforts on flattening the curve he prefers to manipulate the numbers..

Can they really have access to private health info about individuals? Isn't there a HIPPA law or something like that? NIH_NIAMS

They will cook the numbers and blame the VDC for this whole fiasco.

Because the administration did so well with the PPP loan program.

This all about falsifying the case numbers so Trump can re-open the schools, regardless of the actual risk. He’s a psycho, and this is absolutely disgusting.

Hiding the truth during a pandemic seems like a great plan. Why not just start listing all covid deaths as “natural causes” - the virus is natural after all...

How TF is THAT ok?!?

We. Are. Screwed.

And the fact that this is going to be a problem, should also be noted .

This data shall be fucked clearly this is a way to suppress the data the correct data

Trump is good at cooking the books

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Oh god what could go wrong with this🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄Dint want anyone’s medical history in the hands of the orange blob!!

I would cc EVERYONE

Oh. My. God.

😑😷

Wtf?!? 🔥😡🔥😡🔥😡

WTF?

I hope they still take copies of the data to cross check the lies that will soon be coming out of the WH. Freedom of speech protects that data! Trump cannot hide the truth without breaking the constitution!

But realDonaldTrump can’t stop hospitals from sending their data to other places as well.

Good, these numbers are a HOAX, the numbers we’re reporting down in Florida are completely minupulated so these hospitals can receive additional funding!!

Don’t worry, SusanCollins & GOPsenators, I’m sure 45 has learned his lesson by being impeached, and would know never to risk manipulating this data. That would be wrong. And a chastened President is—fuck it. He’s going to use this data to gaslight us all. Damn the GOP to hell!

Americans are fucked :(

So we can go ahead and ignore the hospital data from the US Government now. Got it.

This just proves America is currently run by a dictator. The is Kim Jong-Un level control to be used as propaganda soon enough. I feel sad for you Americans.

What he trying too do kill us ,why ?cdc are experts he doesn’t need info he not in medical field this is insane uncalled for too question cdc unbelievable

CDC has been an epic failure

And now the country will never know the true statistics, this is how it magically disappears.

Trump is trying to control the availability of information to water down the negative impact of PUBLIC health news on his re-election. This is a form of censorship.

Lol the teachers union needs to get back to work. Covid is political BS and while cases have gone up due to DNC riots. The deathrate has dropped to very near 0%

Corona Virus soon to be cured magically in states run by Republican governors as numbers drop to zero overnight like a miracle.

This means the media will never get the data and won’t let us know what’s going on

What in the - are they serious? They are going to massage the data, are they?!

Dangerous

Oh yeah, the fix is on

Dear hospitals, time to create your own CDC so that the TRUTH is known by the American people! This is an abomination!

COVID-19 death counts have miscounted and manipulated. I don’t blame the WH for wanting the data first.

Maybe it will just 'miraculously ' go away now. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

This is what should be viral/trending!

Sounds promising 😐

About time

Inexcusable!!

This way the government can MAKE sure that the numbers please our great leader realDonaldTrump

What if we all just ignore what the toddler in chief says?

Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so the numbers can be manipulated and increase deaths silently. This is the silent majority trump speaks of.

NO! The trump WH lies! DO NOT SEND THE VIRUS DATA TO THE WH! The CDC needs to receive this data!

Thank goodness! They know the the difference between 98 vs 9.8.

Thats crazy.

Oh please. Who believes anything reported by CNN. Folks do your research throughly. Also ny times not reliable as well.

Time for private hospitals to file a lawsuit. COVID19 numbers and patient info must not be politicized. It does not belong in newly invented Trump Admin database. I expect my personal medical history to be protected. CDCgov aboutKP StLukesHealth MayoClinic ClevelandClinic

Should see numbers going down within days . And miraculously disappearing in no time . Looks like trump got it right

'The Texas Department of Health released numbers comparing the coronavirus to the last two seasonal flu viruses. The coronavirus was less lethal than the flu in the state! The fle had a mortality rate of 0.03% and 0.04%. The coronavirus has a mortality rate of 0.01% in Texas.'

...prompting the White House supply clerk to order several thousand black Sharpies.

So that’s how we cure Covid

We should have listened to realDonaldTrump!! 4/5: Trump can’t stop talking about hydroxychloroquine ... as GLOBAL deaths near 100,000 7/3: Global Deaths = 529,127 430,000 deaths. Had we listened to him it WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS!

We will be down to zero cases Thursday morning. Administrations corruption is so blatant and no does a thing.

SpeakerPelosi MarkWarner timkaine This needs addressed now!

Is it legal for hospitals to release patient info to Trump Admin database? 'Hospital data on COVID19 patients': Names, addresses, ages, patients' medical history? What? State & county health depts show case numbers. Personal info protected. HHSGov CDHidaho SpeakerPelosi

Excellent idea. It will prevent reporting dishonesty and errors. Apparently a major error in FL was uncovered with 30 labs reporting 98% positive instead of 9.8%. Crazy, if true. During such critical times this type of reporting issue can change plans on open/ reopen, etc.

Everybody on HHS needs to go. Sending covid 19 hospital data to the president who really doesn't care is a breach of trust on the american people!! Thanks to HHS for covering up for the worst president in history.

I'd send it to the CDC & the press, as routine anyway. If they want to suppress the information make them fight like like hell for it, like people are fighting for their very lives.

This is one virus one cannot hide. Once it spreads it become almost impossible to fudge data.

Statistics will begin to decline any bets. trumpcoverup TrumpCorruption covid19coverup votetrumpout election2020

4 years and no more: This is like sending the WH to the moon with no prior experience. WHO DOES THIS?

Is tRUMP getting CDC to STFU about COVID19 also for Florida, Texas, Arizona & Oklahoma governors where Novel Coronavirus infects more people now? Asking for anyone who GAF about July 14, 2020 TOTAL 3,355,457 58,858 New Cases DEATHS 135,235 351 New Deaths

Now is the time it will “ just disappear”. Prepare for even worse disaster. Now we won’t know what’s coming. More lies for Americans.

They've already been manipulating the death rate numbers. Come on journalists start calling funeral home in spike states and see how much of an increase they currently have. They are actually overwhelmed in FL.

Good. Maybe the right numbers will get reported

Clarification, please. Who else has access to this information? Are there independent third parties that are in a position to validate/substantiate USG numbers?

Soviet method!

PaHouseDems Maybe the inaccuracy of FL is occurring in other states? OH NO! Dems won’t have the FAKENEWS to support their shutdowns! How awful for Americans to have the truth!

Great, more lies. Just what this planet needs more of....

mels8_ How is this legal?

realDonaldTrump Donald Dick at it again. Going to doctor up the numbers and tell us Covid is simply “going away.” Why don’t YOU go away already?! 🤬

To stem fake covid19 numbers/stats

Me parece muy bien ,al parecer no confían en las instituciones y puede ser contaminado por el PPC o influyentes .

COVER-UP in progress

Trumpism Mens Rea:👇 “If the day should ever come when we must go, if someday we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction.” ― Joseph Goebbels

The corrupt state of America.

Between CNN and the White House and ministration we are Doomed

This is truly outrageous.

Noooooooooooo

Be careful .. be careful .. In Colorado, a squirrel was infected with bubonic plague, This disease has existed for centuries, and it is responsible for the most deadly in the history of mankind, with an estimated 50 million people died in Europe, It can affect humans and animals.

No cases overnight....it’s a miracle

VFrankenstein76 Good.

CDC itself said they were rounding numbers and counting probable deaths. The CDC has failed many times over. Good. Punish incompetence.

That is the code violation of patient trust.

WTF? WE ARE NEVER GONNA KNOW THE TRUTH!

No more democrat lies!

At least we will now know the exact number of affected patients.

Good!!!

SenToomey this sound good to you - no chance they will mess with the numbers - why not speak up

I’m sure Trump will take Sharpie to the data.

Jeez, I wonder why data has become a legal matter...

Um. No.

Here we go again.... Trump wants to manipulate the numbers to make him look good. Don’t believe anything this White House tells you.

The stats will most certainly be changed to suit the administrations perversion of the truth!!

so they can change numbers at will :) lol

Sounds like Florida we’re screwed 🤦🏾‍♂️

New Covid Task Force briefing Wednesday evening claiming that there are now less than 15 cases in the US and that number will be zero soon.

Doctoring of numbers🤣🤣🤣🤣

We will now see that MIRACLE in numbers dropping.

oh goody, make it even easier for tRump to lie, manipulate, and prevent the public from learning exactly how many people he is killing...

Very scary

Put out a copy of the June 1 guidelines the CDC has scrubbed from their website. G'head. Let's ALL see them.

Now this administration is going to falsify the information to make the numbers to his liken. Beware people wear your masks and pray.

Hospital data will be given a good massage first and foremost

CDC is a no vision outfit that reads from their books on what happened decades ogo and follows that guide line that they published! The world changes daily and the CDC is never up with the changes!!

This is so they can hide and fudge the numbers much like DeSantis did in Florida early on.

Trump really does think we are all stupid and he can make fools out of us. It’s fuckin obvious to everyone you’re abusing your power and in the process endangering even more lives than you already have. You are evil.

USA is now a third world country dictatorship.

So here comes the coverups

So we’ll have less “cases” yet the same (increasing) number of sick people. Clever!

Spike9151 God. Please, no.

Yeah, nothing can go wrong with this idea !!!

I thought this was a joke!

Why not just re-route to Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump so they can massage the data for daddy Donald Trump? The main goal of WhiteHouse is to keep the nation misinformed until he’s RE-elected! JoeBiden DNC FBI ICC AdamSchiff nytimes CuomoPrimeTime WHO EUCouncil ABC UN

That's it then, nobody will ever get the truth!

We all know what this means. Once Washington has the hospital data COVID-19 will start to slowly disappear, or at least that is what everyone will be told.

Oh good gravy. Can we at least let them have the info at the same time? So that we can have some accountability!!!! Also, we need a cure ASAP, so maybe let the researchers have it quickly.

Trump wants to hide the deaths of Americans and lie to you

What exactly is Trump's o objective here? To reduce the numbers?

What a fun ,this information should be sent to the management of Virus Diseases Contorl as was being done previously.

Super

What do you think this administration will do with the data? It will not report it accurately, consistently, and PressSec will stand at the podium and lie, deceive, and defend those lies about the data. As will Mike_Pence the Fix Is On America report that thehill fox5dc AP

...why? No seriously, there's no reason for it. Don't goddamn tell me that the Trump administration has more and better staff to handle this information than the CDC and DHHS themselves. This reeks of tampering and gaslighting attempts.

It doesn’t matter when you have multiple ppl dying around you everyday we will know the truth regardless of the scams.

How about y'all asking them 'on what authority?' Hospitals don't work for HHS. They don't work for the Trump Administration. You might also want to ask why HHS can't get the raw data FROM the CDC rather than creating a new reporting process?

Vice President Pence will sleep good tonight. The Pence Comm. has no reason to have photo shoots now that Trump Virus deaths can be manipulated. Pence was so frustrated by not knowing whether he was supposed to wear a mask or be maskless. He was beside himself.

GOOD MAYBE NOW SOME REAL WORK WILL GET DONE!

This is about forcing the schools open. Beware!!

Now THIS is serious garbage. We'll NEVER get accurate info at all if POTUS is involved. This administration reminds me daily why we need 2 completely overhaul the system of checks & balances that's supposed to exist to keep that gross narcissist from destroying our democracy.

Now Trump is going to suppress the data so that more people die.

HHSGov Prediction, cases and deaths will miraculously take a nose dive and POTUS VP will claim success. Meantime ICU’s & Morgues across states will be full and overflowing. realDonaldTrump Mike_Pence will claim hospitals are liars. Criminal Negligence

That will help the whole world.this should even had happened long ago because the cdc,un,Hopkins university,cnn,bbc etc don’t want to disappoint your master

And suddenly our numbers will go down.....morgues will fill up, refrigerated trucks all over the place... but “nothing to see here”...NicolleDWallace MSNBC RepTedDeutch JoeBiden maddow

I am sure the idiot POTUS will release the true numbers just like his tax returns

Trump WILL control INFORMATION TO put US & our children at RISK Obesity and Diabetes are PROVEN high-risk factors for SARSCoV2, the coronavirus that causes the pandemic disease COVID19 100 million Americans are obese 30 million have Diabetes 15 million KIDS are Obese

Wow.... I'm sure that will work out beautifully.

This politicization of medicine has got to stop. 😕

Can someone find out if this is the company TeleTracking that got a reported no-bid contract please? Thanks.

Ball in the wrong court

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt the Libs’ strategy on skewing numbers.

Has Hillary been briefed?

Trump’s immigration policy is real bad. I hope the states not only win, but win big!! If the schools are shut down and classes are online only, why can't they do online courses from where they came from?
