Opinion: The White House Coronavirus Task Force needs to stop hiding its weekly reports from the public
Since June, the White House Coronavirus Task Force has been compiling detailed reports on how Covid-19 is spreading. It has put together a massive, granular, timely data set for tracking and containing the pandemic. These reports would be of enormous benefit to local public health officials, educators, employers, and the public. Yet the task force refuses to share them.
Each week, it distributes this painstakingly prepared document to the governors of all 50 states and to the District of Columbia with specific recommendations for curtailing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, along with progress reports on testing and county-by-county assessments of the prevalence of the coronavirus.
