Absolutely agree. Needs to be public. Completely irresponsible/improper to have data that could help save people's lives kept secret. Also why is "HHS Protect" system not public? It has “comprehensive visibility” into case #s, hospital utilization, dx testing, inventory et al https://t.co/xQTUU193Za

Conspiracy theories are blocking control of COVID19. Study examined theories March to July. In March 28% believed China "manufactured" SARSCoV2. By July 37% believed it. In March 24% thought CDC exaggerated the pandemic to damage Trump. That jumped to 32% https://t.co/jBglBa2ijO

Malaria was endemic to much of the Southern and Eastern U.S. It still would be, too, were it not for massive federal public health efforts to eliminate it from the 1930s to the ‘50s. The agency founded to complete that task was the CDC. Malaria is why the CDC is based in Atlanta. https://t.co/py7r7JyBdB
