>The Trump administration is now ordering hospitals to send coronavirus patient data to a database in Washington, DC as part of a new initiative that may bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to a report from The New York Times published on Tuesday. As outlined in a document posted to the website of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), hospitals are being ordered to send data directly to the administration, effective tomorrow, a move that has alarmed some within the CDC, according to The Times.

@geniusmusing This is almost certainly an attempt to manipulate and censor the data.
I'd guess the order also applies to "P&I" data in general, so #pneumonia and #influenza, severe #colds which lead to hospitalization or death, and #COVID-19.
