As he attempts to strong arm the House Committee on Intelligence, I thought folks should know Acting Director of National Intelligence, @RichardGrenell is a member of a private dm group filled w/ alt-light grifters, qanon proponents, snake oil peddlers, and Fox News contributors.
The "secret" DM group, aptly named "MAGA Verified," was created by @MichaelCoudrey, an alt-right adjacent consultant who recently became central in pushing a dubious narrative surrounding Hydroxychloroquine as a miracle treatment for #Covid19 patients, amplified by Trump himself.
This "secret" DM group is one of about a half dozen similar influential MAGA echo chambers wherein Trump sycophants, admin b-listers, and alt-right protagonists cross pollinate with and signal boost each other.

If you are wondering why we have a lagging infrastructure to combat the #COVID19 pandemic, it is because Trump fired the NSC's Global Health Security team in 2018 and never replaced them. Sharing this @JuddLegum piece more than once and highlight key lines popular.info/p/unprepared
In 2018, the Trump admin ousted Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, who served as the Senior Director of Global Health Security. Ziemer was a member of the National Security Council, where he was responsible for coordinating "responses to global health emergencies and potential pandemics."
Beth Cameron, who served on the NSC in the Obama administration, said that Ziemer's ouster was “a major loss for health security, biodefense, and pandemic preparedness” and noted that it "is unclear in his absence who at the White House would be in charge of a pandemic."

Washington state is reporting 21 cases of #COVID19 and 9 deaths. The public should not assume that this means there is a 36% fatality rate, but rather there is a growing population of undetected cases. Adequate testing would confirm this. cbsnews.com/live-updates/c…
If the population of those infected with #COVID19 in Washington state shares the same death rate found in China Washington state is looking at approximately 391 infected individuals.
Using the same math as above, but applying the reported death rate seen in South Korea (~0.5) and the the number of undetected cases of #Covid_19 cases in Washington State bloats to 1,800 people.
