Read more on @nature: Why the United States is having a coronavirus data crisis

“But data from news outlets are not necessarily comprehensive or universally trusted, and the dashboard doesn’t detail where transmission is happening...precisely tailored interventions are more important than ever. ‘It’s not enough to just tell people to be cautious.’"

“Without up-to-date, reliable information on who is infected, why and where, US scientists, policymakers and the public must instead rely on media reports and independent efforts to consolidate data…”

“Experts have called the revisions alarming and dangerous, noting that the United States needs more testing, not less.” Read more @nytimes

To infringe on the scientific process while in the midst of trying to contain and better understand this virus is not just irresponsible, but highly unethical.

We stand with the scientific community and urge the vital need to continue with wide-spread testing for COVID-19, including those who appear asymptomatic.
