CDC Can't Even Manage a Web Site

Mar 30, 2020 1 Replies

The CDC provides numbers that no one else does, infection counts adjusted t o the estimated date of infection. I thought that might be a better estima te of the progress of this disease and even more interesting information on how these numbers progress. However, the CDC doesn't post the information on the weekends and the data for those days is lost. I saw one day where the numbers barely changed from the day before. Now, the numbers which sho uld include the entire weekend have not changed at all. The chart was upda ted around noon, but at 2 pm the site is still displaying the out of date d ata.



WTF???!!! The leading US government resource for information on this disea se can't even manage to process and display basic data on it? Ok, maybe th at explains a few things.

Trump didn't manage to get CDC defunded - Congress got in the way - but Tru mp's habit of giving high-level appointments to people who could exploit th eir position for commercial advantage is well known.

It's possible that whoever is responsible for managing CDC's communications with the public isn't going to be all that good at that aspect of their jo b.
