Hospitals from across the country will no longer send CCP virus or COVID-19 related data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are instead required to send it to a central database in Washington beginning July 15, according to an HHS statement released Friday.
HHS said Vice President Mike Pence sent a letter to hospital administrators across the country asking them to send daily pandemic data on “testing, capacity, utilization, and patient flow” to the federal government.
“The objective is to allow states and hospitals either to leverage existing data reporting capabilities or, where those capabilities are insufficient, to provide guidance in how to build upon existing capabilities,” said the HHS in a statement.
The federal administration said it needs daily information to plan, allocate, and for allocating resources during the public health emergency.
“This data will be used to inform decisions at the federal level, such as allocation of supplies, treatments, and other resources,” said the HHS.
The federal administration said the central database will let it move away from the manual entry process towards an automated one and reduce its data collection burdens.
“We will no longer be sending out one-time requests for data to aid in the distribution of Remdesivir or any other treatments or supplies. This daily reporting is the only mechanism used for the distribution calculations, and the [data] is needed daily to ensure accurate calculations,” said the HHS.
The federal government said since the state governments are already collecting data from the hospitals, they may like to continue doing that.
“Therefore, hospitals may be relieved from reporting directly to the Federal Government if they receive a written release from the State stating that the State will collect the data from the hospitals and take over Federal reporting responsibilities,” said the HHS.

I never like many govt alphabet agencies anyway. They violate the 9th and 10th amendments. The CDC is just that RFK is not wrong. Fauci and others are frauds.
