@Infoseepage @NilaJones The raw data is still made available to people who want to slice and dice it differently, and there are orgs doing that, like https://www.pmc19.com/data/index.php.

The CDC has decided that if they tell people that COVID is bad all the time and people should me maximizing precautions all the time, the result will be most people never taking any precautions.

That sucks, but it's the reality we are living in.

I don't know how to fix it, and I doubt the CDC does either.

@jik

Are they telling people to take precautions right now?

Looking at this from a French perspective, where we're having a flu epidemic and yet no public health messaging about masks and ventilation, it does seems to me that their reasoning is more "we don't want to have to tell people to take precautions, therefore we're changing the measures / "breaking the thermometer" so that we won't have to"
