It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a big difference between dying from Coronavirus and dying with Coronavirus. Someone who dies of a heart attack who tests positive gets lumped in. Every year 10% of people who are 80 on New Years Day will die before Christmas. That is not going to change. The increase due to covid19 will be measurable but a blipLast edited by jerp; 04-07-2020, 08:18 PM.

Are you sure they're being told to report *every* death as covid, or only those where it may have played a role? From what I've read and the CDC guidance below it sounds like they're wanting every death that covid played a role in to list covid on the certificate along with information of their other health issues that contributed to the death.
