I Know It Is Against Federal Law to Question the CDC


The question I have is...

Is It Also Against Federal Law To Be Confused By The CDC?

If it is against the Federal Law to be confused, I am guilty as hell.

A person could spend an entire day reading any one of the CDC’s Weekly Key Updates. Below is the link to CDC Web Site Key Update for Week 45, ending November 7, 2020. You are welcome to read all of it in detail but I recommend you just scroll through the confusion. Be patient, it will come to an end...Or will it?

The overriding guideline for any CDC Weekly Key Update is to Always Include Bad News. If the people who put together these updates can’t include enough Bad News they are instructed to, at the very least, insert as much Confusion as is possible.


I have selected 3 examples of Confusion Insertion that would win awards, if there were awards for such things. They usually are inserted at the end of a long Bad News paragraph. You may think I made these up but I did not...


Ø ...data for the most recent weeks may change as additional admissions occurring during those weeks are reported.

Ø ...other indicators have increased more rapidly in some regions.

Ø ...estimates from previous weeks are subject to change as data are updated with the most complete data available.

These are like saying, “All of the Bad News you just read may not be all of the Bad News because this situation may be Worst than just Bad”.

I wonder what the Mortality Rate is for those who have tried to Adsorb, Analyze and Worry about the CDC’s Weekly Key Updates.

If you are wondering what would be the Cause of Death, I think there would be at least 3 very likely ways you could die from reading these updates...

Ø Extreme Irreversible Depression

Ø Extreme Irreversible Confusion

Ø Head Explosion

It’s like a Poker Game. You dare to put into the pot some semblance of Good News and the CDC will raise you with an abundance of Bad News until you panic and fold up your cards.

During these Dire Economic Times one thing I am certain of is we will never hear someone say, “I’m really worried now. Did you notice that the CDC has started shortening the length of their Weekly Key Updates?”


Would I kid u?
