via @NYTimes. In Wisconsin this month, nearly 75 percent of cases — and 80 percent of deaths — are attributed to counties that supported Mr. Trump in 2016.

The Trumpsters aren’t satisfied just ignoring science; now they’re hijacking science agencies like the CDC and replacing their reports with propaganda. This is staggering news. The CDC staff should resign en masse, especially Director Robert Redfield.

If an asymptomatic contact tests positive, their contacts can be identified, warned, and quarantined. Not testing asymptomatic contacts allows Covid to spread. The CDC guidance is indefensible. No matter who wrote it and got it posted on the CDC site, it needs to be changed.
