'Shame on you!' Politico journo busted for 'trying to scare the hell out of his followers and cause panic' over coronavirus

Scary stuff happening at the CDC, as Politico’s Blake Hounshell notes:

WHOA … CDC blocked FDA official from premiseshttps://t.co/GO9lghLCDT

WHOA, guys. WHOA.

FFS. They didn't know he was coming
"On Saturday, February 22, at about 7 p.m., an FDA employee arrived at CDC Roybal campus in Atlanta, a day before what CDC understood to be his scheduled arrival time. Due to CDC security requirements, he was not allowed on campus that night,"

That’s from the article Hounshell links to.

He arrived a day before his appointment, it’s in the article, but @blakehounshell is trying to scare the hell out of his followers and cause panic. https://t.co/dRPkSg3JrQ

People are scared enough of the coronavirus without hacks like Blake Hounshell trying to fan the flames even more.

Misleading as always.

Remember Politico isn’t politicizing the coronavirus. They’re just leaving out details like the guy arrived after hours. https://t.co/Q5qqWaCcwR
