- munificent 5y agoMy guess would be enough time for various people in the chain of command to check the text for correctness, messaging, etc.
- jdavis703 5y agoIt means they shared the press release to media outlets in advance so they could write an article about it. But the outlets are not supposed to release their articles until the embargo expires. This is a common practice for both government and private sector press releases.
- HWR_14 5y agoMy guess is every report by the CDC follows a standard embargo timeline unless it's time critical. You want to give journalists time to write a good article and not race each other to publish something first.
