TopicTrump is ordering hospitals to stop sending Coronavirus data to the CDC.

From the article:

"The Trump administration ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all COVID-19 patient information to a central database in Washington, starting Wednesday, according to a Health and Human Services document updated July 10.

Michael Caputo, HHS assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement the new coronavirus data collection system would be faster, and the CDC has a one-week lag in reporting hospital data."

Today, the CDC still provides data from only 85 percent of hospitals; the Presidents COVID response requires 100 percent to report.

"The CDC, an operating division of HHS, will certainly participate in this streamlined all-of-government response. They will simply no longer control it."

"Weve merely streamlined data collection for hospitals on the front lines," he stressed. "No one is taking access or data away from CDC."

I'm not seeing a problem here.


Well the immediate concern is there is zero information about who controls this new database, how it is going to collect the 15% of data the CDC isn't currently capturing and how it is somehow going to be faster than the existing process.

Depending on the information being submitted there are also possible HIPPA concerns as well. There are very tight regulations regarding who can receive medical information, how it is transmitted and stored.

He doesn't see it that way. When Trump refers to his administration he basically means his inner circle of bobbleheads.

This makes no sense on so many levels. Its not like there aren't already places on the internet dedicated to selling illegal shit, what is the point of 'hiding' it on a normal website? If you were going to hide it on a normal site, why would you post listings using the actual names of missing girls? Since the only people that would be 'shopping' for them would have to be in the know already, you could call the things whatever you wanted. Also, these things are just posted in the open, so what is to stop other people from buying them? How do they know who wants to buy a person and who is just looking for overpriced furniture?

A lot of conspiracy theories seem to rely on the people involved being dumb enough to put evidence of their conspiracies in the open.
