Coronavirus data has disappeared

With responsibility for the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic shifted to the Department of Health and Human Services from Dr. Fauci’s Centers for Disease Control, infection data has — What do you know? — disappeared.

Previously public data has already disappeared from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website after the Trump administration quietly shifted control of the information to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Since the pandemic began, the CDC regularly published data on availability of hospital beds and intensive care units across the country. But Ryan Panchadsaram, who helps run a data-tracking site called Covid Exit Strategy, said that when he tried to collect the data from the CDC on Tuesday, it had disappeared.

Expect endless reassurance from the First Felon that, thanks to him, everything is great.
