"BREAKING: Some of the layoffs at CDC are being REVERSED.
Here is my updated story."

After details about the firings became public, a federal health official said Saturday that some layoff notices had been sent in error and would be reversed, including for those leading the measles response, those responding to an Ebola outbreak, CDC’s global health leadership, and some CDC disease detectives. The official did not detail how many of the more than 1,000 layoffs would be reversed.

"Sent in error" either means someone saw the news reports saying "not functional" or "this will kill people" and they decided they had to back away, or there's someone with some power who, when they heard about it, said "are you crazy? WTF do you think will happen? Fix this right now!".
