Friend,

Who would've guessed: Now that the CDC is no longer the first to receive state
COVID data, the public release of hospital data has slowed to a crawl.

I said last month that the decision to hamstring the CDC’s ability to distribute
publicly the number of deaths and number of hospitalizations due to COVID would
hurt us in our bid to end this public health crisis. And we know it’s getting
worse -- unfortunately for Donald Trump, right now, ignorance is not bliss.

As if life amidst a global pandemic and a Trump presidency wasn’t chaotic
enough, this has introduced even more chaos -- and people will die because of
it. We need to rely on science: Add your name to tell President Trump and his administration to stop hiding data and start releasing COVID data faster right now. [link removed] ADD YOUR NAME → [link removed]

This is the worst public health crisis in a century. We can’t sweep it under the
rug -- no matter how much President Trump may try.

From the beginning, we should have listened to the messages from public health
officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci. We should have continued to make COVID
infection information as accessible as possible. Hiding it doesn’t make it go
away -- just like Donald Trump’s assertion that if we gave fewer COVID tests,
we’d have a lower rate of infection that has no basis in fact.

We’re fighting science with straight up denial. And Americans are getting sicker
and sicker, and more are dying every single day. It’s shameful.

That’s why Donald Trump needs to hear from us: Tell him to stop hiding COVID data and start listening to science right now. [link removed]

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
