All the inconsistencies and problems with the CDC are on Trump, from insisting on creating an American Covid 19 test, instead of using the W.H.O's test, to rejecting masks and then finding out we were having a PPE shortage to insisting that everyone where masks. It all reflects Trump's flip flopping on his own response on how to handle the pandemic...listen to scientists or pretend it doesn't exist and "let it ride" until we achieve herd immunity.

Back on April 4th, when the CDC issued orders for Coroners to label even deaths of people who COULD have had Covid-19, as "Covid-19 Deaths", the numbers skyrocketed.
When Dr. Fauci testifies before the Senate this coming Tuesday, he will have a lot of explaining to do!

I think Birx was just caught up in the CDC misguided mindset. What they originally planned to do, try to slow down the virus outbreak till we were ready for it, was a good idea.

Did you overlook the tweet by the surgeon general that I posted, or the FACTUAL studies proving you're WRONG with your assumption? Regular cotton masks, including surgical masks, are INEFFECTIVE in preventing people from catching COVID-19. But hey, if you're one of those fearful types, by all means wear your cotton mask!

Not entirely correct.
Masks dont prevent you from getting the virus.. or any virus.. CORRECT. WHat they DO is lessen the initial viral load you are exposed to so your body may fight it off naturally.
They also lessen the viral load you spew all over everyone else if you happen to have it.
If masks did nothing, then it would make the necessity for them in a clinical setting zero.
It would not make it so PPE was needed desperately by first responders.
There is a place and necessity for PPE .. including masks... but its not being applied correctly. A lot of BAD information is being passed off as fact as well.

That is true, but I do feel that the doctors should try to save your life.
My doctor keeps telling me when I go there I need to get an advanced directive.
I know a few people who had those. Either you sign away your life so that you can't be treated or you give them authorization to keep you alive no matter what. Why does it have to be one or the other.
I give my wife and kids the right to choose for me, not a person in a hospital. I do not want them saying they cannot help me if I choke on a piece of fish, but I do not want them taking over and keeping me alive when I have no quality of life either. Let my family choose.
I took off my organ donor status long ago because I know that organs create profit for hospitals nationwide. Even if the organ is given free, hundreds of thousands are often charged for recipients of the organs or their insurance companies for everything involved. My organs are wore out, why would I want to give someone wore out parts to put in their bodies.
