COVER UP: Trump Tries To Shelve CDC Reopening Guidelines
Donald Trump doesn't understand things like "alarmed civil servants," and "media back-channels."
He does understand when his buddies from the US Chamber of Commerce want zero liability and no OSHA protection for workers during the pandemic.
But here's another thing.
Trump also doesn't understand the iron-clad rule of Monty Python and "The Life of Brian": indicate to people that they can't or shouldn't have something, and they'll fight like mad to get that very thing.
[When the Monty Python movie "Life of Brian" was banned as blasphemous, it's audience grew a hundredfold.]
And now the so-called Trump White House has tried to shelve a seventeen-page report on how the nation should re-open safely and with a minimum amount of DEATH as the COVID pandemic continues.
It's trending this morning on Twitter, the report has been leaked, and CNN International spent two segments on it so far.
The Associated Press has an exclusive on the report.
It was supposed to be published last Friday, but agency scientists were told the guidance “would never see the light of day,” according to a CDC official. The official was not authorized to talk to reporters and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
And... the Associated Press has posted the entire report on that thing called the internet.
