The House panel probing the Trump administration's coronavirus response released new documents detailing political appointees’ extensive efforts to modify or scuttle scientific Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, as it also ordered top Trump health officials to quickly provide documents.

Trump appointees attempted to “alter or block” at least 13 scientific reports on the coronavirus as outbreaks surged across the spring and summer, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), the chair of the House select subcommittee on coronavirus, wrote on Monday in a letter that was shared with POLITICO.

What’s also become clear is that keeping schools closed is causing severe harm to overall student progress and worsening inequity.

You know it’s bad when even Microsoft executives are distressed by how much time students are spending online on PCs and calling for a return to in-person learning.

Inslee responded promptly, adjusting the state’s safety threshold for school re-openings to a more reasonable level. That should lead to more district openings early next year.

Microsoft President Brad Smith went further and arranged to help provide safety equipment in schools statewide, in part by sharing the company’s supplies.

The company will also provide online health reporting for every school district, so local educators and families can easily see and monitor disease incidence and other factors affecting school closures.

Microsoft also is using its influence to urge early vaccination of teachers, particularly those who face greater risks from COVID-19.

I just heard on CNN from one of their covid-19 talking heads (Dr. Reiner) that about 86% of Dems plan to get vaccinated but only 56% of Repubs plan to do so.

bambuland has a federal govt
"Covid-Safe" app.
Everyone downloads it onto their phone.
If person's phone with the app comes "in contact" with another person's phone with the app...it registers with the
federal govt.
Anyone who tests positive ...the govt has a record of all the phones their phone has come in contact with.
Part of contact tracing.

Not everyone has downloaded the app:
Don't want the govt tracking me".

America's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told CNN on Monday that he would advise against additional restrictions on UK travel. The US must "without a doubt keep an eye on it," Fauci said, but "we don't want to overreact.

hahahahahaha

YES - she won't say to the media what it is and should not have to. Physicians' saying it to Social Security is what it should take.

AND - you are missing that this is not an out of the ordinary tale. Or deliberately being obtuse, as per usual.

Jupiter and Saturn kissed in the sky last night.

Next time will be in March 2080.

11 times further apart - hardly the same thing!

If you miss tonight's event, you'll have to wait another 20 years. The next great conjunctions will occur on Nov. 2, 2040 and April 7, 2060, timeanddate.com reported. But the show will be a little less impressive, as the planets will appear 11 times farther apart, or a 1.1-degree separation, compared with tonight's great conjunction
