      4/ The CDC had “an ongoing issue” with organizing — and sometimes flat-out losing — forms sent by local agencies about people thought to be infected. The email listed job postings for people who could track paperwork. This was in FEBRUARY.pic.twitter.com/i6IrWgTl97

      8/ On Feb. 19, the CDC described criteria to be tested: close contact with a confirmed case or travel to China + had respiratory symptoms + a fever. But the CDC’s own guidance from Jan. 17 had a footnote that said “fever may not be present in some patients.” What?

      9/ In a statement to @ProPublica, the CDC said clinicians could always use their judgment to decide who received a test: “CDC never declined a request for testing that came from a state or local health department,” the agency said.
