So messing around with CDC protocols doesn't help businesses open because insurance companies are going to pull coverage if they aren't taking enough steps to mitigate risk. The unintended consequences of being dumb AF, like those in the Executive Branch clearly are.
The criticism of the CDC is valid because first, weighing news sources is not as simplistic as considering whether or not it’s anonymously sourced, especially in cases where you are dealing with a vindictive and corrupt government. If a Russian doctor provided evidence of Moscow’s hospitals being overrun, would you require that doctor to be publicly identified by name? I would say Nyet, Comrade.
Second, there is corroborating evidence, namely, the nixed documents.
Third, the government said it’d produce the documents last Friday, and then it did not, lending to questions of, why not?
Finally, you will notice the odd absence of guidance from the CDC. Regardless of whether the CDC ever releases any such documents, its delivery of guidance is late and a failure.
