Hope for improvement from the CDC

[mtbc]

A few weeks ago, the Associated Press reported that the CDC director announced plans to reorganize, probably next year, in addressing their failings with SARS-CoV-2. Thank goodness for that, it was strange for me as a layperson to be maybe even nearly a couple of years ahead of what the the official understanding seemed to be. I'm no expert, I was just reading case reports from American doctors, preprints from SE Asia, etc., but everything further has just confirmed the heart of those earlier indications. The CDC didn't have the WHO's excuse of having to pander to China. I may not be holding my breath but I am glad to see some on-target acknowledgement of a need to improve and intention to put measures in place to achieve that.

I will be surprised if the aim of the restructuring is to improve the communication of risk. It seems to me that they are thoroughly captured by political interests.
