CDC

So here we are in almost the year 2025, but the app is designed with no landscape-view support, as if Steve Jobs has just introduced the first iPhone just last week (no such thing as an iPad yet). Please add landscape view and proper iPadOS support. iPad owners the world over will love and appreciate your doing so. That is, of course, if your websites don’t go dark with the coming administration. Even then, it’ll still look better in landscape mode.

okay, look… I keep up with my vaccines, so I’m not one of “those individuals” but I am wowed that the info on here about covid is so…. lacking at this point? the pandemic is not quite over. the attention paid to mpox is encouraging but very very little is being said of the huge surges in literally all other sexually transmitted diseases nationwide right now. I definitely believe that the mpox vaccine should be offered openly to anyone of any persuasion right now… some people have open relationships, about half of the others in relationships cheat on their partners, and more people are pan and/or bi than most professionals would ever believe (or admit); guys…. this is part of how your predecessors dropped the ball on HIV, by painting it as a gay man’s disease, this is irresponsible and shameful. we’re not about to run out of mpox vaccines, offer them to everyone sexually active, for obvious reasons. also; the lack of regular info and warnings on the dangers of tobacco or nicotine use, ESPECIALLY vaping (which is probably more dangerous more quickly than smoking cigarettes ever was for previous generations and is going to become a huge problem for the daily health and wellbeing of many, many people under 30 within the next five years [and the CDC will act totally blindsided by this when one in fifty thirty year olds have the lungs of a 70 year old chain smoker]) is quite troubling. the normal overprescribing and the resulting addiction to legal prescription drugs by the medical indust- ahem, the medical community, and alcoholism, the forgotten addiction, because it is legal and more or less socially encouraged for all adults through peer pressure and marketing, seems to also be largely ignored as a major public health concern. I am a former bartender and I work at a gas station right now, alcoholism is a major problem, trust my daily regular customers if not me. I won’t even do more than just mention the CDC avoiding discussing the risks of young people falling into sports gambling addiction, which is a ready-made mental health epidemic in progress as I type this. HOWEVER, the absolute last straw that made me write this review, and to finally uninstall the app, is the Reefer Madness post in late April (‘23). A full century after the racially motivated transformation of all of American law enforcement to combat poor and black and brown people by way of banning liquor and cannabis, in 2023, the american CDC releases a Reefer Madness warning about a made up con

This app is terrible to understand when your sick and need help! It’s a messed up system!

iOS 12.5.6

You can’t trust the information so why have it on your phone. DELETE!!!

Tracer and symptoms doesn’t work anymore 👎

Minimalistic indeed. Two star rating is being generous.

This app is misleading and need of an update. We’ve already had a delta variant and Omicron, this app needs to be updated.

Seems to me that this app doesn't do much to encourage people to go get vaccinated for COVID-19. I've been following the Data Tracker for this new disease almost since the first phases, when the big news was still in China and on cruise ships. It makes no sense to me that the CDC is still listing, among its "easy-access" [my expression] data points, the percentage of Americans who have received "at least one" of the three separate injections required for optimum immunity. If the CDC continues to publish that lackadaisical statistic, it should also present the results of a study showing the percentages of people who still contracted COVID-19 within, say, one year after receiving (1) only the first inoculation, not the second one and not the booster; (2) the first two shots but not the booster; (3) all three shots. Either do the study--or save that money, because you would otherwise be spending it (again) to re-rationalize the current protocol. Instead, post the following message loud and clear on the CDC website: "Folks, if you want optimal immunity ASAP, you gotta get two full shots plus a booster--spaced properly apart. And this virus isn't going to go away. We're already trying to figure out the subsequent inoculations that we'll all need in order to maintain immunity over the next two, three, four years." How else is the CDC going to motivate full and ongoing compliance with its recommendations, now and in future years? KSSHRINK

I think that this app is truly informative, especially for public health, or any related health major. It can be used after school, and can help retrieve reliable statistics!
