Let the usual cadre of Trump appeasers retort with their usual list of excuses

Controversial coronavirus-testing guidelines posted on the CDC website that said asymptomatic people don't need to get tested even if they have been exposed to the virus were not actually written by the CDC, the New York Times reported Thursday, and were posted over the objections of CDC scientists. Citing internal documents and sources familiar with the matter, the Times said the Department of Health and Human Services rewrote the testing guidelines in late August and "dropped" them into the CDC's website without proper vetting. The recommendation contained numerous errors, the Times reported, and was inconsistent with the CDC's messaging, especially as asymptomatic people are considered major vectors of COVID-19's spread.
