Great news and President Trump at his most direct - get it done and screw the whingers. From Borepatch:

HHS cuts CDC out of Covid data reporting loop
In news from the war against the Deep State, this is really interesting:

A new directive from the Trump administration has cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention out of the loop for data from hospitals treating patients with COVID-19, a move which could have significant effects on what information about the pandemic is made public and how it is presented and used.

It's pretty clear that the White House does not trust the CDC.  They have good reason not to ("Don't wear a mask"/"You have to wear a mask"/"Don't take HCQ"/"Maybe take HCQ").

The instructions also explicitly bar hospitals from reporting to the CDC in addition to HHS: "As of July 15, 2020, hospitals should no longer report the COVID-19 information in this document to the National Healthcare Safety Network site," the document explains, referring to the CDC's system.

...

In other words, for hospitals to receive federal aid, including access to one of the few known beneficial drugs for treating COVID-19, they will have to comply with the administration's data directive.

Like I said, this is really interesting.  Of course, the Usual Suspects are complaining.  I guess they haven't caught on how that's not a bug, it's a feature.

Heh - bet that the CDC is going to have a really hard time justifying its budget appropriations next time these roll around. Not defunded but put on serious caloric restriction until they get rid of the dead-wood and shape up and do their fscking jobs.
