GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Trump administration shelved a document created by the nation’s top disease investigators with step-by-step advice to local authorities on how and when to reopen restaurants and other public places during the still-raging coronavirus outbreak.
The 17-page report by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team, titled “Guidance for Implementing the Opening Up America Again Framework,” was researched and written to help faith leaders, business owners, educators and state and local officials as they begin to reopen.
It was supposed to be published last Friday, but agency scientists were told the guidance “would never see the light of day,” according to a CDC official.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why this was “shelved”…. It is a picky, picky, picky detailed “prescriptive” plan. One size supposed to fit all states and locations within states. Too much. It is no surprise that the Lib AP types are running around, getting copies from #NeverTrumpers, and blasting it out with their own editorial spin.
Save your bp. None of us approves of this. But I thought you should know what the Other Side is up to.

Wyoming has only had 604 total confirmed cases and 7 deaths. New York has had 316,041 confirmed cases, and 25,014 deaths. What possible logic is there in trying to come up with a "catch all" method to re-open the economy when the states have been effected so drastically different?!?!?!?
President Trump is the first president in years who understands that the federal government is not the all powerful and omnipotent overlord of the states. The states have lots of rights and powers given to them by the Constitution. To mandate that they have to do things a certain way is trampling on their rights and responsibilities to their people.
President Trump gets that. The AP is too incredibly stupid and evil to get anything!!!!!

The CDC would have us in phases for years. You cannot run an economy in phases, restaurants open later--but farmers open now. The central planners are idiots. The economy was shut down without any evidence, or any review of options. We do not know if social distancing, masks, or shutdowns work----but we do know that shutdowns don't work, and it is destroying our country.

Of course these are "the nation’s top disease investigators" not a bunch of nobody bureaucrats in a dead-end job. They did something that can be used to smear Trump.

When I read headlines like this I almost weep with joy, remembering the eight year Bathhouse reign of terror, when every day the news made me want to cry, vomit and run screaming into the night.

There is a reason scientists are not the ones making ultimate decisions. Everyone says follow the science and do what science says (they say this as an insult to make themselves feel smarter), and yet the models were and are wrong, they are constantly changing, and science by definition is imperfect. The science behind the virus is not the only consideration here. There are many others, to which these scientists are absolutely not qualified to decide. They are one facet in a multitude and because of their degrees (and now because of slobbering media telling them how godlike they are) they believe that their advice should be unquestioned. It’s called tunnel vision, and every scientist has it. There is a reason scientists should not be making decisions about ripping people from their homes because of a positive test result. Because they are not qualified to evaluate the full impact of loss of rights, effect on the economy, effect on the family, and effect on the children and the reverberating effects for years to come. They see one dimension. This is why we should never let them make the ultimate decisions.

Maybe their recommendations would have some meaning if they hadn't been wrong about pretty much everything else.

The CD was founded in 1947 to deal with viruses and communicable diseases. It has sine morphed into a vast agency that now deals with chronic diseases, addictions, nutrition, school health, injuries and racial and ethnic approaches to community health.In 2017 the CDC spent 1.1 bil on chronic disease prevention and health promotion, 215 mil on environmental health, 285 mil on injury prevention ... all purposes addressed by other agencies.They spend millions on international junkets and lavish facilities but cannot demonstrate that they are controlling disease in any way. They do multi million $ studies on gun violence, how parents should discipline their children, health conditions among the lesbian, gay and bisexual population. So , NO opening up the country is NOT their call.

It's AssPress...and I agree very much with #1. Let the governors and local folks figure out what is needed in their case.
In the 30 or 40 counties in KS which had NO cases or one case, perhaps they don't need to do a damned thing....and never should have been restricted at all. A heck of a lot of states have places where there is no disease....leave them to do what they want.

I for one am getting thoroughly disgusted with kindergarten-level lectures and advice from government agencies not based in reality on how to wash my hands and how to stay healthy. These people may have sat in a classroom for a few more years than the rest of us but the condescention will not be tolerated. These people are guessing at best. It's a virus for Pete's sake, not the Andromeda Strain. Get the hell out of the way or you will be moved! When this world experiences a real crisis, people like Fauci, Scarf Lady and Rachel Levine will be among the first to wet their pants before throwing themselves off a cliff.

No one voted for a multi-administration semi-permanent overlord CDC. They are advisors, not lawmakers. They have a tendency to make themselves the legislative, executive and judicial branches all in one. They are being put in the position where they can overrule all the lawmakers and constitution from the top-most branch of the government down to individual neighborhoods. It is good to put them in their place.

Trump has the final say so in matters like this and apparently he put the Rejected stamp on it. Probably for good reason.

Maybe if the CDC was doing their job instead of butting their nose in every American's business and lifestyle we wouldn't be in this mess. Cut their damn budget and tell them to stick with their purpose !

Yes, by all means, use the guidelines published by the same people who misinformed president Trump and his administration that the China Virus COVID-19 will kill 2.2 million people in America. Which brought the shutdown of our economy by Marxist Communist democrats as a dry run for when they ever get majority veto proof control of government. You know, the now not so famous CDC and NIH.

Other article was from NYT, so I am posting AP. Never mind the negative tone. The President and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows rejected the CDC’s recommendations as being “too prescriptive”… Thus they would have tended to “bury” them. Good ole AP dug ‘em up and trumpeted them!
