We are checking in with Andy Slavitt.
Good or bad, Mr. Slavitt tells us the truth about our fight with COVID-19.
Make no mistake, we are not doing well. Mainly because of Republican Governors who have mismanaged their states the way that Dolt45 mismanaged COVID-19 nationally.
2 weeks ago I started raising concerns about Arizona & joined many others in calling for @dougducey to please act.
He then had a press conference where he said these accounts were exaggerated. Now those accounts were the good old days.

Governors— we have data now that contact tracing & testing REDUCE the spread of COVID-19.

COVID Update June 19: Cases are rising & states are facing an onslaught as hospitalizations begin to grow.
The month ahead is likely to be filled with terrible loss. It’s time to address that and we might if only the president would care. 1/

During June, the death toll, while high, has been mercifully flat. It’s not clear why but there are a few possibilities… 3/ https://t.co/u3vNHTt1d9

This one month lag is something we were aware of but this confirms what to expect in which states & is how we should target our efforts. 5/

Why isn’t the CDC publishing clinical data from early states?
Moving hospital staff to these states?
Setting up teleconsullts w NY docs? Moving therapeutics in?
Sending in 10s of thousands of contact tracers?
Massively testing underserved communities? 9/— Andy Slavitt @ 🏡 (@ASlavitt) June 20, 2020
