…somebody leaked it.
I too have been disappointed that there aren’t more whistleblowers, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that no one pushes back ever.

If Giroir had an ounce of integrity he would resign. But rest assured, he’ll be fired if Biden wins.

Does anyone who works for the Federal Government even know anymore just WTF is going on? The orders of every branch of government are different from their mission, which are backtracked, then changed, then doubled down, then reversed, then blamed on being an inherited disaster from Obama. No one can keep anything straight in this chaos coming from the Administration.

Oh, we’re going to test more people but we are going to do it at random. Conceptually. If they volunteer. If they have a cold. If they have the flu.

That is the difference between now and Nixon era, that people actually took a stand and resigned or allowed to be fired, but refusing to follow illegal orders. Now they are like: “If I don’t do it, I will get fired and they will find someone else to do it, so I might as well do it myself and keep my job” . Nowhere has this attitude been more visible than in the Military.

Reports now that Fauci just told CNN that he was under anesthesia last Thursday when this decision was made, and he considers it dangerous.

“There is no direction from President Trump, the Vice President, or Secretary Azar about what we need to do when, this is an evidence-based decision driven by the scientists in the division,” Giroir said. “I can speak of that directly and openly, because I was there, I circulated the manuscript, to make sure there was absolute consensus.”
“Everyone signed off on it before it got to a place where the political leadership would have even seen it,” Giroir added.

RUBBISH!!!
This is hideous - it would be one thing if this was part of a structured thought out strategy - sure … it could be different from what Dr. Fauci might outline - as long as it was a defendable logical scientific approach, it would warrant serious consideration and debate
but this is just horse crap! it is nonsense - with directions being spewed out by a frantic idiot who does not know pig snot about science - but has shoved & bullied everybody out of the way and is just flailing away at the levers of action - convinces that he will some how magically hit upon a way to take the blame away from him… he does not give a rat’s ass about how many more people die - as long as he gets reelected … hell - if he were told that his reelection could be guaranteed - but 2 million people would have to die - he would agree to that in a heart beat!

I hope HHS doesn’t mind if I don’t believe a word they say.
I know this is a little off-topic, but I’m asking you to indulge me while I offload an emotional burden. This is my 9-year-old grand-daughter Riley on her first day of “school” today. This is what school now looks like in our family. What must it look like in other families? Not everyone was sitting down today with a big smile.
Riley is as ready as a kid can be; she’s lucky because she has a pretty solid support system and enough resources behind her. But she’s no different from the rest of us … we don’t know what comes next and, especially important, neither does she. That uncertainty is corrosive as hell for school-age kids. Here’s the thing … I deeply resent that my 9-year-old grand-daughter is living her young life in the toxic wake of Trump’s indifference and incompetence. That’s my corrosion. Lingering worry.
Thanks for the indulgence. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t that far off-topic.

I’d add Michigan to that list. Gov. Whitmer Tuesday told everyone, “I will not be bullied.”
She’s decisive and steady.

But Giroir argued on the call that testing was at the discretion of local officials, and framed the policy shift as a way of placing the responsibilities further on the shoulders of localities.
And localities have the money and the personnel to scale up quickly when numbers climb? All this yo-yoing on messaging and management is what leading some people to ignore the directives and “advice”. If you look at the UK Boris has the same problem. Today’s walk back is about students now should wear masks, where a few weeks ago he said they didn’t have to.

So can I assume all the people around Trump are no longer going to be constantly tested? s/

Maybe someone could collect them, and then rent them out for single drivers wanting to use HOV lanes? Or the professional sports teams could rent them to fill the empty seats. I hear potentially dead bodies would help kill that dead sound in the stadiums.

Sure you an get tested anyway, but look to insurance companies to stop paying for tests not ordered for symptomatic individuals, resulting in $100’s of dollars of medical bills for individuals.
