I was thinking about recent info we have been seeing about listing any death as a potential COVID 19 death. And how there is actually a medical code and a form to denote COVID 19 as the reason for the death. When was this added? Who updated the forms?
I have a spidey sense that it was before the big breakout happened as it would have to have been to get all of the forms and systems updated down stream for all of the hospitals to list COVID 19 as the reason for death.
Reminds me how the whistleblower form was changed. So again when was the form changed?

That is the other strange thing, they are not telling you who passed from COVID 19. But you get in a car accident or anything else the news plasters your name. Why not with COVID 19?

Car accidents have police reports associated with them and such reports are public information. Medical information is confidential by law, specifically HIPAA.

Because they just made up the deaths?

I do not know and this is not an area I have worked in.
