CDC guidelines issued march 24 say basically "Call every death covid".

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
The CDC says 9,500 americans have died of covid so far which is not that many - but it appears even that number is greatly inflated. Deliberately so.

Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause?

The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.

Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have causedor contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II.

Covid 19 should be listed as cause of death even where it is just "assumed to have... contributed to death." So, a patient in late-stage terminal cancer who has some Covid 19 symptoms, Covid 19 should be listed as the cause of death, even if there hasn't been a Covid 19 test and the patient died of cancer. Cancer "can" be listed, too.

Most people who are infected with Covid 19 don't even have symptoms, let alone die from it.

Yup - this is yet another media scam. The american press are deliberately trying to destroy the american economy and thereby america. Why would they do that? Because all liberals are white-hating racists and as long as america is mostly white, they will hate america and try to destroy it.
 
Get the China Virus at age 80, and u have heart disease COPD.. bad liver etc etc

Yup its the Virus that caused your death...got to bump up those death numbers

We know, we know, it is all a hoax, the common flu is worse, a plot against Trump led by the media, Democrats, "deep state," etc., but apparently you missed the memo, even your Messiah has changed his tune, and moved on from that deflection

 
The death rate has to be taken with a major grain of salt. They are not just counting deaths attributable to COVID19 alone. But counting people who died WITH it not just OF it. That is a major distinction and very flawed.

I used to code and bill in a medical office.

The propaganda gets worse. To further bloat the numbers the CDC has issued more than 1 ICD10 code for Covid 19. This way they can make the hysterical left
and media even MORE hysterical. Any ICD10 codes for the UNDERLYING MEDICAL ISSUES which helped cause people to get sick in the FIRST place, virtually
disappear from the public eye. So, the uneducated masses will only focus on Covid 19.......and all the politics that go with it of course.

So, now even if it's just a case of a person going to the doctor because they MIGHT have stood too close to another person they THINK MIGHT have had Covid 19,
the visit gets coded under Covid 19 as "suspected," "possible," "probable," or "inconclusive". Even if the person is asymptomatic and just wants a test it gets
coded under Covid 19. On its face it seems proper and innocuous however once the media gets a hold of "the daily numbers" it's all rolled into 1 giant hysterical
conclusion that "aaaahhhh!!! oh nooooooo!!! the numbers are increasing!!! impeach Trump!!!"

This all holds true for Telehealth as well with the AMA issuing coding guidelines for THAT.

The problems might really be stuff like:

J12.89 (other viral pneumonia)
J20.8 (acute bronchitis due to other specified organisms)
J22 (unspecified acute lower respiratory infection NOS)
J40 (bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic)
J80 (acute respiratory distress syndrome)
J98.8 (other specified respiratory disorders)

But will the hysterical masses give a darn about that? Heck no.
Give us more sick numbers!!! death numbers!!! dirty laundry!!!

"It's interesting when people die...get the widow on the set...we all know that crap is king...we love dirty laundry."

The CDC is padding the numbers to prolong the panic so the DEMOCRATS can persuade all 50 governors to mandate mail & electronic voting, Ms. Stretch.

Never forget whose sister runs the CDC's Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
 
LOL, this TOTAL LOSER WHO SPENDS HIS ENTIRE UNEMPLOYED ASS LIFE TROLLING LIES made the mistake of posting
a reputable seemingly original source material. Predictably it 100 percent refutes his theme.

WHAT AN IDIOT.

COVID-19 Alert No. 2

March 24, 2020

New ICD code introduced for COVID-19 deaths

This email is to alert you that a newly-introduced ICD code has been implemented to accurately capture mortality data for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on death certificates. Please read carefully and forward this email to the state statistical staff in your office who are involved in the preparation of mortality data, as well as others who may receive questions when the data are released. What is the new code?

The new ICD code for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is U07.1, and below is how it will appear in formal tabular list format. U07.1 COVID-19 Excludes: Coronavirus infection, unspecified site (B34.2) Severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS], unspecified (U04.9) The WHO has provided a second code, U07.2, for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available. Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.

When will it be implemented?

Immediately.

Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause?

The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.

What happens if certifiers report terms other than the suggested terms?

If a death certificate reports coronavirus without identifying a specific strain or explicitly specifying that it is not COVID-19, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify whether or not the coronavirus was COVID-19. As long as the phrase used indicates the 2019 coronavirus strain, NCHS expects to assign the new code. However, it is preferable and more straightforward for certifiers to use the standard terminology (COVID-19).

What happens if the terms reported on the death certificate indicate uncertainty?

If the death certificate reports terms such as “probable COVID-19” or “likely COVID-19,” these terms would be assigned the new ICD code. It Is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases. If “pending COVID-19 testing” is reported on the death certificate, this would be considered a pending record. In this scenario, NCHS would expect to receive an updated record, since the code will likely result in R99. In this case, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify if test results confirmed that the decedent had COVID-19.

Do I need to make any changes at the jurisdictional level to accommodate the new ICD code?

Not necessarily, but you will want to confirm that your systems and programs do not behave as if U07.1 is an unknown code.

Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?

COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II.

Hey, here's a thought.

Which do you think is a larger number: the count of people who just die of Corona 19 who go completely unreported and untested,
or people who die and are reported by doctors as Covid death by disregarding their professional judgment and experience under guidelines all to forward
a right wing conspiracy theory and pump the numbers up in an effort to defeat the Orange tard?

Your stupid creates enough energy to light up a city.
