BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus.

On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed.

The lack of testing is a scandal.

This is the coverup.
There is going to be a lot to keep track of in the coming days.

People in power need to be held accountable.

My newsletter, Popular Information, can help.

It's like my Twitter only with full sentences, original research and reporting.

UPDATE: Congressman Mark Pocan sent a letter to the CDC demanding an explanation as to why the number of tests conducted was removed from the CDC website

1. This AM, I published a piece on @darden, which operates @olivegarden & other restaurants. 1700+ in the US

I highlighted that, except where required by law, none of @darden's 170K+ workers got paid time off

10 hours later the company reversed course

@darden @olivegarden 2. As of today, all 170K+ restaurant workers at @olivegarden, @LongHornSteaks, @YardHouse and other @darden brands will get paid time off.

Darden didn't respond to my inquiries last week, but sent me the details of the new policy this evening

3. My piece this AM focused on how, during a coronavirus outbreak, lack of paid sick leave put workers & customers at risk. Many @darden employees told me they observed people coming into work sick because they couldn't afford to take time off.

1. @darden, parent company of @olivegarden, DOES NOT provide its 170K+ restaurant employees w/paid sick leave (except in 11 states where it's the law)

I talked to @darden staff around the country and heard horror stories about people coming to work sick

popular.info/p/free-breadst…
@darden @olivegarden 2. Even as the coronavirus spreads, @darden, which had $8.5 BILLION in revenue last year, and recently awarded its CEO a $15.7 million pay package, continues to make its workers choose between staying home sick and paying their rent

3. "I remember times when people came in with flu, strep, common colds. Many times people wouldn’t go to the doctor because most of us didn’t have health insurance." -- A former server at @cheddarskitchen in Kentucky, another @darden restaurant chain

BREAKING: This AM popular.info reported that the Trump campaign was running 1K+ ads on Facebook promoting a fake 2020 Census and Facebook will take no action

Just now, Facebook reversed course and said they will remove all the Trump census ads

popular.info/p/facebook-all…
2. Facebook disclosed the decision in an email to civil rights leader @vanitaguptaCR.

"Upon further review, these ads are currently being taken down given the policies in place to prevent confusion around the official U.S. Census," the company said.

Delays, deceit, and disorganization: We've opened an investigation into the Trump administration's response to #coronavirus americanoversight.org/investigation/…
The Trump administration's coronavirus response appears to be focused on public relations instead of public health, with top government officials issuing conflicting or blatantly false statements about the epidemic. We're investigating. americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We've filed more than 100 public records requests to federal and state agencies investigating whether mismanagement in the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus has put lives at risk.

#Coronavirus Thread>>> I am seeing many patients with respiratory “flu-like” illness as I have every “flu” season for the past 2 decades. With mixed messages from the @realDonaldTrump administration and reports of cases without known exposure, people are concerned that they 1/7
might have #COVID19. I have thoroughly read the @CDC related guidelines, and I am still not entirely sure what to tell them. I know that their risk is low if they have not had contact with a known infected individual, and if they have not travelled to any number of 2/7
countries listed on the CDC website. Even as this outbreak evolves and we have more cases in more communities, the risk of serious illness with young healthy people is very low. The concern now is for the elderly and chronically ill population for whom the mortality rate 3/7
