It's a mask.
It might help to know what the word means.
Trump's death cult crippling local public health agencies,
dooming COVID-19 fight
The complete dysfunction at the national level in responding to the coronavirus crisis has, predictably, trickled down to the state and local level.
A joint investigation by the Associated Press and Kaiser Health News looked at how the $150 billion state and local government Coronavirus Relief Fund included in March's CARE Act has been implemented, and it's damning.
One example:
In Minneapolis, Minnesota Health Commissioner Gretchen Musicant just this month received $1.7 million—the first money her department has seen from the funds.
That's $4 per resident of the city. “It’s more a hope and a prayer that we’ll have enough money,”
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Zoo got $6 million and
a debt collection company in Minnesota got at least $5 million in a Paycheck Protection Program loan.
The Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Senate were far
more interested in protecting jobs and the economy than protecting American lives,
and opted to short-change public health.
“We are never going to get ahead of the pandemic response if we are still handicapped.”
"the states, territories and 154 large cities and counties that received allotments from the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund reported spending only 25% of it."
Part of the problem is the fact that the Trump administration didn't offer final guidance on how states could actually spend the money
until late in June.
So since the end of June, more of the money has likely been allocated and spent.
The Republican-controlled Senate (always ing up) threw the legislature into turmoil,
refusing to work with the Democratic-controlled House and
not allowing Gov. Tim Walz's plan to divvy up the funds based on need and sending them to the places that had the highest levels of infection.
As of mid-July in Missouri, "at least 50 local health departments had yet to receive any of the federal money they requested."
there is such a circuitous path for
the funding—which was absolutely intended by Congress to go to testing and contact tracing and fighting the virus—
is another big part of the problem.
There are too many decision-makers along the way to public health officers at the local level, and politics get in the way.
made much worse by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's and Trump's absolute refusal to provide general funding to state and local governments.
Some could be hoarding it now because they think McConnell and Trump won't allow any more funding.
People are dying.
The people who are supposed to help keep people from dying are blocked by other public officials who are part of Trump's death cult.
There's not enough funding for anything beyond public health.
That includes schools, which are now reopening without adequate funding to combat coronavirus because, again, death cult.
Republicans’ long-term project to make sure government can't function is working.
And it's going to cause the needless death of thousands more Americans.

^^^ more gossip
nope cdc released data

Your fake data in context
Herd immunity is impossible
BUT OTHER COUNTRIES ARE UNDERREPORTING AND DON'T TEST LIKE WE DO
oops
Evidence grows that children may play a larger role in transmission than previously believed
Latest study is small but shows that
kids’ rates of infection and viral loads may make them silent spreaders.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...wpisrc=nl_most
All three studies were small and contradicted one another in some details, so researchers said they could not draw any definitive conclusions based on any one of them alone. But taken together, they paint a worrisome new picture of children’s role in the pandemic.
Lololololollol
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...111/tbed.13766The relationship between climatic factors and COVID‐19 cases in New South Wales, Australia was investigated during both the exponential and declining phases of the epidemic in 2020, and in different regions. Increased relative humidity was associated with decreased cases in both epidemic phases, and a consistent negative relationship was found between relative humidity and cases. Overall, a decrease in relative humidity of 1% was associated with an increase in cases of 7–8%. Overall, we found no relationship with between cases and temperature, rainfall or wind speed. Information generated in this study confirms humidity as a driver of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission.

What we are doing is basically herd immunity,” said Prijo Sidipratomo, dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the National Veterans Development University in Jakarta. “So, we should just dig many, many graves.”
Trump administration bars FDA from regulating some laboratory tests,
including for coronavirus
Some public health experts worry defective tests could end up on the market
Trump administration this week blocked the Food and Drug Administration from regulating a broad swath of laboratory tests, including for the coronavirus, in a move strongly opposed by the agency.
The new policy stunned many health experts and laboratories because of its timing, several months into a pandemic.
Some public health experts warned
the shift could result in unreliable coronavirus tests on the market,
potentially worsening the testing crisis that has dogged the United States if more people get erroneous results.
They argued the change is unlikely to solve current testing problems, which at this point are largely due to shortages of supplies such as swabs and chemical reagents.
The change in policy came as a surprise to many at the FDA and was a point of intense disagreement between HHS Secretary Alex Azar and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn.
Hahn vociferously opposed the change, arguing the agency has the authority to regulate laboratory-developed tests during a public health emergency like the current pandemic,

unregulated, untested, unapproved tests, perfect MISgovernance, PERFECT for scammers
And what about Trash saying LESS testing is good because it means less infections found?
Trash allowed 100+ different tests back in March, CDC found only 10 were accurate enough.
cdc contaminated the tests originally. And stated millions would die. And here we are.
You literally have a higher chance of death by the asteroid than covid.

NASA says there are three potential impacts, but "based on 21 observations spanning 12.968 days," the agency has determined the asteroid probably -- phew! -- won't have a deep impact, let alone bring Armageddon.
The chance of it hitting us is just 0.41%, data show
