In the spring, TeleTracking was awarded a contract to collect COVID data from hospitals — despite having no experience with this sort of data collection, and their system being plagued with errors. Now, the Trump administration has renewed their contract.

When asked about the contract's renewal, an HHS spokesperson said the original $10.2 million contract included an option for a six-month extension."The federal government is still actively responding to this pandemic and this data is necessary to the response," said HHS spokesperson Katherine McKeogh.

Questions still loom about the way HHS awarded the original contract last spring. The Department originally said the contract was awarded with a no-bid process and then reversed itself and said it was competitively bid. It has refused to reveal which other companies bid for the job and an NPR investigation has been unable to find any companies that knew the contract existed.

The company told NPR that it sent a TeleTracking demonstration to the office for the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at HHS on March 23 or 24 and presented its product, via conference call, to ASPR officials on March 27.

-Trump + his willfully derelict + incompetent administration must be charged with abetting the death of over 207,000 Americans, 7,000,000 Covid-19 sicknesses, as tens of millions have lost their jobs. -Trump has intentionally lied + endangered over 350 million Americans !

Probably another way he is trying to undermine science in America.

NPR, The key questions are: *Why are we having a company to do the work of the CDC? *Why weren’t the Tax $’s spent on Updating the CDC’s data collection system? *How is TeleTracking filtering the data to the CDC?

Why would we expect anything different from this bizarro world administration?

I wonder who is making money off of that?
