Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 29, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Reported flu deaths drop off a cliff all the while.... https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2XckyC93jfKqvOue5EdPlNA8LlKKgz4vPZTU1whI4vXLSOADSjsL9XY-M 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 COVID19 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 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.

If the Chinese virus takes them out that just means that the flu doesn’t get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US has about 4.3% of the worlds population yet 27% of the deaths and 33% of the total cases in the world. Sorry not buying it. I know our country is filled with fat, drunk and stupid people but those numbers just don't add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm on the fence with the reporting. A nursing home near here is reporting 30 covid deaths. Holyoke Soldiers Home is reporting 80. Those are fucking insane # for individual facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Coronavirus has killed 60,000 Americans in 3 months. Yeah 20,000 a month is not as bad as the flue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Attribution is going to continue to be a challenge. At my sister's ICU, their normal patient caseload has dropped through the floor, suggesting many folks are likely dying at home for things they'd normally be coming in for. This is true across the entire medical spectrum. People are staying away from healthcare facilities in droves. For electives, that's fine, but for things like infarctions, asthma complications, etc there have to be increases in numbers of deaths for those reasons. Sadly, people are dying who could be saved if they'd come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationwide I think ours is over 40%. No question its a bad virus and its exceptionally bad for certain groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
