CDC Tells Hospitals To List COVID as Cause of Death Even if You're Just Assuming or It Only Contributed

[Alfster]

Sounds like that's in response to NY saying all of their in home deaths are no longer being checked for the virus after death but before a test could be performed. Save the tests for the living basically.

CDC Tells Hospitals To List COVID as Cause of Death Even if You're Just Assuming or It Only Contributed

Nobody is disputing whether or not the virus exists but it's crap like this that shows, and is becoming more clear, that the numbers related to this absolutely do not add up. When this is all said and done this virus will barely be above the flu and we will look back and realize the freak out associated with it was not warranted.

The CDC Guidelines cited in the op-ed, but not posted actually go into further detail about testing and doctors using their best medical judgment. Death Certificates usually list immediate cause and contributing causes of death. Yes things like Diabetes, COPD, Emphysema and Bronchitis are major contributing factors to mortality in SARS cases, but the CDC is asking doctors to certify COVID-19 as the immediate cause of death, if their medical opinion concurs. The ICD update also states if tests are pending, to update their diagnosis and causes of death as appropriate. I really don't see anything wrong here.

No, fuck-nugget, it wasn't. The referenced Guidance for Certifying Deaths Due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 was ommited by the op-ed author.

Is being retarded considered immediate cause of death or contributing cause of death?
