data reliable?

Explanation: Case (testing) data continues to flow from the states to CDC, and is independently verifiable from the state reporting, for example, on Covid Tracking Project. So this particular plot cannot be caused by the HHS changeover. https://t.co/u3zb53dgII

This is appalling. The @WhiteHouse stripped @CDCgov of its data-collection responsibilities for #COVID19. @HHSGov hired a private company to take over. The data is now useless, insane.

Much more sinister: They didn't only strip the CDC of it's data-collection abilities, they outsourced it to one of Trump's largest donors (who also financed Oscar Health — Joshua Kushner's company responsible for the national testing website)
