Report: HHS's COVID-19 Data For Availability Of Beds, Meds, PPE Varies Wildly

When COVID-19 reached the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Protection tracked data related to its spread.

However, President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force wrested control from the CDC, with the launch of HHS Protect.

The main pandemic data tracking system is run by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Federal and state officials use HHS Protectโ€™s data to assess the burden of disease across the country and allocate scarce resources, from medicines to PPE.
