Re: Flu Manchu and trading...
In Response To: Flu Manchu and trading... ()

Have one better than that. CDC, today, released guidance. No matter what the cause of death, if it can even be assumed that Covid-19 COULD has caused it, whether the patient even had been infected by that virus, then Covid-19 is the cause of death.

"Covid-19 is any death where the disease “caused or is *assumed* to have caused or *contributed to* death.” Confirmed lab tests are not required to be placed as cause of death, on the death certificate."

Even with no lab tests to prove that the deceased was even infected with it. So, someone dies from pneumonia. It could have been related to the seasonal flu. Or, it could have been simply a case of pneumonia. If they simply ASSUME that the pneumonia could be connected to Covid-19 .... the coroner/hospital is supposed to list Covid-19 as the cause of death.

A new major advance in medical science, isn't it?
