White House coronavirus task force no longer proactively sending reports to states

CNN)The White House coronavirus task force has informed states that it will no longer proactively send its weekly state reports with tailored data and recommendations, according to multiple state officials. Instead, states will need to request the reports each week.

This new policy, which one official said came via email, is a departure from the previous process and removes a layer of transparency and vital information amid a raging pandemic.

The task force has been sending the reports to key state and public health officials weekly, usually on Mondays or Tuesdays, since June, when a second wave of Covid-19 infections began to spread across the country. The White House has declined to share the reports with press, but CNN has obtained hundreds of reports since then, and some weeks' reports have also been published by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

When the creature became the anti-POTUS we all wondered what harm he would do. Most of us thought he would start a war for whatever reasons. No one saw Covid coming but now that it's here and we see "team tRump's" response we really aren't all that surprised, especially after the 4,000+ crimes he has already committed, the Mueller Report and Impeachment...all in 4 years.
