Well oiled machine - OutsiderFan - 08-20-2020

Don't know whether to laugh, cry, or punch a wall. Maybe all three?

“CDC is working with us right now to build a revolutionary new data system so it can be moved back to the CDC, and they can have that regular accountability with hospitals relevant to treatment and PPE,” Dr. Birx said

Why do I have this feeling the "revolutionary new data system" will look a lot like the previous one?

Because "Government Data System" has taken over the old meaning of "Army Intelligence"?

I take this as a tiny bit of good news, a reversal of the disturbing news from a few weeks ago that the White House was taking over the Covid data. I worried then (along with a lot of others) that it was an attempt to take political control over information in order to fudge the data downwards to benefit the president's campaign for reelection. I'm relieved to see that move reversed and data back to the CDC. 

Did I miss something along the way?
