Health experts are warning the national count of Covid-19 deaths in the United States could be underestimated as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread.
This could be especially true because the reporting data can lag by an average of one to two weeks, according to the latest guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's.
Also, deaths due to Covid-19 "may be misclassified as pneumonia deaths in the absence of positive test results, and pneumonia may appear on death certificates as a comorbid condition," the CDC noted, adding that "analyses to better understand and quantify reporting delays" for Covid-19 deaths and "related causes" are underway. In March, the CDC introduced a new code to accurately capture mortality due to Covid-19 on death certificates.
With that code, the CDC noted that 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."
‘What we are seeing is a tip of an iceberg’
When it comes to an accurate count of Covid-19 deaths in the US, "we really are just seeing the tip of the iceberg and a lot of it has to do with the tests we have available," Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos, a pulmonary and critical care physician on the front lines at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, said Monday morning...
‘There will be a lot of death’...

Wow, they just want to keep spreading the panic, don’t they?
Everything else I’ve heard is that the deaths are over counted.
Considering how much they are trying to take down Trump, I would trust the claims of over counting more than undercounting, especially considering the source.
Same reason as always for CNN: Orange Man Bad
Wow! That’s scary. We should shelter in place until there are no deaths for any reason.
JUST
MAKE
IT
STOP
Russia failed, Ukraine failed, wohoo flu failing. What should scare you is what’s next, WWIII?
“Is that true, or did you hear it on CNN?”
Enemies of the people.
What a pant load.
In a new and startling development, experts tell CNN that the pandemic is the result of Russian-Ukrainian meddling perpetrated by white nationalist hate groups, and made far worse by climate change, as well as a lack of respect for science.
“This is probably also why those planes crashed and could even be why your lottery tickets never win,” added one expert who had to be sedated.
There are errors in both directions.
Some people died with the virus but also a serious co-morbidity. But some people died of it without being tested, and they won’t be tested because the tests are needed for those still alive!
>>What should scare you is what’s next, WWIII?
they tried that scare last year.
And the Cold War was WWIII.
Next is WWIV.
“In March, the CDC introduced a new code to accurately capture mortality due to Covid-19 on death certificates.”
Clowns
Yer lookin the books
Yeah, and they were still counted as covid-19 deaths.
Well, we all knew that this article would be written and published just in time to scare the bejesus out of us.
We were becoming too relaxed, too optimistic, and we can’t have that.
CNN to the rescue right on time.
THEIR MESSAGE:
YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.
Do you get the feeling that CNN has become something more than just a television channel?
What you screamed³.
Let’s add in all the car accidents because they should have been cowering at home, instead.
nope, they have to have the test.
“He died of covid!!”
“Did he suffer?”
“Not much, it was over the instant he pulled the trigger “
Wow, they just want to keep spreading the panic, don’t they?
Everything else I’ve heard is that the deaths are over counted.
Considering how much they are trying to take down Trump, I would trust the claims of over counting more than undercounting, especially considering the source.
The problem I have with them is they are LIARS!!! They are counting Flu, Heart Attacks, Kidney disease, Cancer deaths as Cornonavirus deaths...
the opposite of the truth. that’s the FakeNewsMSM.
