CDC Tells Hospitals: No Test Needed, Just List CV-19 as Cause of Death
CDC brings in new coding system which encourages doctors and hospitals to cut corners, forego testing protocols and instead list COVID-19 as the cause on death certificates. Isn’t that a recipe for fraud?
At thegatewaypundit.com Cristina Laila writes:
The Coronavirus crisis took the US by storm, spiking unemployment and crashing the stock market virtually over night.
The media is bombarding Americans around the clock with updates on the death count, highlighting death maps and scaring people into staying home. Governors are forcing small businesses to shut down and threatening to jail anyone who violates their authoritarian social distancing orders.
The media hysteria is based on a Bill Gates-funded IHME Coronavirus model that has been proven to be way off.
It gets worse…
The amount of Americans who are reported to have died from the Coronavirus is based on a CDC coding system that will “result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.”
A new ICD code was established to keep track of Coronavirus deaths. The U07.1 code will be used for death by Coronavirus infection.
Read the new guidance here:
https://www.hiacode.com/education/icd10-code-for-2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19/
However, there’s another secondary code, U07.2, “for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available,” the CDC guidelines read.
“Because laboratory test results are not typically reported on death certificates in the U.S., NCHS is not planning to implement U07.2 for mortality statistics.”
This is a huge problem.
“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 COVID- 19 being the underlying cause more often than not,” the guidelines read.
“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,” CDC guidelines issued March 24 read. “Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc.,” the guidance continued.
“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.”
1/ As you sit home watching #COVID death counts spiral, please know the official @CDCgov guidance for coding COVID-related deaths is as follows: any death where the disease “caused or is *assumed* to have caused or *contributed to* death.” Confirmed lab tests are not required… pic.twitter.com/H4D6mcti3R

What could possibly go wrong with everyone’s death in the next 6 months being attributed to Wuhan virus Covid 19 ? Well I guess maybe all the off-shore manufactured things that left us with our pants down will come back into North America…maybe Jina didn’t think this one all the way through with all silly, laughable and unbelievable death numbers being reported – Jina lied and tens of thousand died (just in Hubei alone) but we’ll never get the real number

The Coronapanic is even more fake than the warming/climate fraud.

good news- “In Germany, several law firms are preparing lawsuits against the measures and regulations that have been issued. A specialist in medical law writes in a press release: „The measures taken by the federal and state governments are blatantly unconstitutional and violate a multitude of basic rights of citizens in Germany to an unprecedented extent. This applies to all corona regulations of the 16 federal states. In particular, these measures are not justified by the Infection Protection Act, which was revised in no time at all just a few days ago. () Because the available figures and statistics show that corona infection is harmless in more than 95% of the population (or has probably even already occurred) and therefore does not represent a serious danger to the general public.“

gonna get juicy –
“The internationally recognized International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents will soon publish a paper that addresses exactly this question. Preliminary results of the study can already be seen today and lead to the conclusion that the new virus is NOT different from traditional corona viruses in terms of dangerousness. The authors express this in the title of their paper „SARS-CoV-2: Fear versus Data“. [3]

“April 5, 2020
In a 40-minute interview, the internationally renowned epidemiology professor Knut Wittkowski from New York explains that the measures taken on Covid19 are all counterproductive. Instead of „social distancing“, school closures, „lock down“, mouth masks, mass tests and vaccinations, life must continue as undisturbed as possible and immunity must be built up in the population as quickly as possible. According to all findings to date, Covid-19 is no more dangerous than previous influenza epidemics. Isolation now would only cause a „second wave“ later.
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) reports that, according to the latest data from China, 78% of new test-positive individuals show no symptoms. This is a further indication of the relative harmlessness of the virus and raises the question whether the short-term increase in pneumonia in Wuhan may have had other causes, including the very strong winter smog.
Dr. Andreas Sönnichsen, head of the Department of General and Family Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna and chairman of the Network for Evidence-Based Medicine, considers the measures imposed so far to be „insane“. The whole state is being paralysed just to „protect the few it could affect“. In an interview with the German SWR, he explains that the spread of the virus cannot be prevented anyway.
In a world first, the Swedish government has announced that it is going to officially distinguish between deaths „by“ and deaths „with“ the coronavirus, which should lead to a reduction in reported deaths. Meanwhile, international pressure on Sweden to abandon its liberal strategy is steadily increasing. Some governments may fear that a success by Sweden (as by Japan before) could make their own measures appear disproportionate and counterproductive.
The Hamburg health authority now has test-positive deaths examined by forensic medicine in order to count only „real“ corona deaths. As a result, the number of deaths has already been almost halved compared to the official figures of the Robert Koch Institute.
As early as 2018, the German Doctors Journal reported a „multitude of pneumonia cases“ in northern Italy, which worried the authorities. At the time, contaminated drinking water was suspected to be one of the causes.
The German Pharmaceutical Newspaper points out that in the current situation, patients often „fall seriously ill, even die, without having developed respiratory symptoms beforehand“. Neurologists suspect in this regard that the corona viruses could also damage nerve cells. Another explanation, however, would be that these patients, who are often in need of care, die due to the very high stress.
According to the latest figures from Switzerland, the most common symptoms of test-positive patients in hospitals are fever, cough and breathing difficulties, while 43% or about 900 people have pneumonia. However, even in these cases it is not a priori clear whether it was caused by the coronavirus or by other pathogens. The median age of the test positive deceased is 83 years, the range reaches up to 101 years.
The British project „In Proportion“ tracks mortality „with“ Covid19 in comparison to influenza mortality and all-cause mortality, which in Great Britain is still in the normal range or below and is currently decreasing.
In the US state of Indiana, calls to the mental health and suicide hotline have increased by over 2000% from 1000 to 25,000 calls per day due to the lockdown and its economic impact.
The medical specialist portal Rxisk points out that various drugs can increase the risk of infection with corona viruses by up to 200% in some cases. It is also known that vaccination against influenza viruses may increase the risk of coronavirus disease”

Definately opens the door for a potentially large amount of fraud, to push the agenda that Covid is much more deadly than it actually is.

This is beginning to look like a pandemic of autocracy, I believe we should more vigilant in the coming months and not let it take hold in our democratic societies. For the sake of our children, we must not let this happen. This pandemic of the Chinese virus shall pass into history, but the source country and its government needs to change. The CCP is the real contagion in this story and we must not take this lightly. We must ready ourselves to again confront evil head on, just like our grandfathers and fathers before us.

The autocrats in the West give the autocrats in China their orders. Let’s not create a war out of some propaganda that this mess is all China’s fault. War will be a lot worse than this.

Classification has been a huge problem apparent in the published numbers for the ‘pandemic’ since it began.
What exactly constitutes a ‘case’? Is a test being used to classify the diagnosis or is it diagnosed without a test?
Imagine 5% of the population are infected with the virus. The test has 98% sensitivity and 95% specificity. The probability that you test positive AND actually have the disease is about 0.47.
Are you then classified as having the disease? If you then go on to die, are you also classed as dying from Covid?
The RT-PCR test is expensive and has a long turnaround time. How often is this test being used for diagnosis? Does the UK even have the lab facilities to deal with thousands of test per week?
If the virus had never been identified, would anyone have noticed any rise in death rates due to respiratory infection?
The UK numbers have more than a hint of being anomalous.

The UK figures being anomalous is exactly the point I have made in my articles about this virus. The exceptionally low UK recovery figures suggest to the casual reader the virus is killing nine out of ten here, even when you only have a mild dose. The Worldometer UK recovery figure of 135 has not been updated in almost two weeks. That suggests no-one has recovered in the UK in the last two weeks. This is clearly absurd and appears to me to be being done deliberately, I can’t think of any other reason.

Well, the Gov of CT declared a suffocated baby died from C19. Similar report of a 15 yr old boy in GA. Science? We don’t need no stinkin’ science!! Who needs science when we got lyin’ grifter politicians, media and 17 year olds with special vision! Funny that Greta can see a CO2 molecule but not a larger virus

I’ve been looking at the UK statistics over the last few days comparing weekly deaths. I have data till week ending 27 March. I have looked at deaths compared to the average for the same week over the preceding 5 years and making a running total. Week ending 27 March three tally was 3800 fewer deaths than average. Comparing deaths by repository disease, there is by that point little difference. This of course may change since the headline numbers seem to be rising exponentially. There is a two week lag in the statistics, which I will try to close with daily data if I can find it.
In Scotland they added an extra forty deaths to their statistics last week giving a sudden jump in the number of deaths from approximately 80 to approx 120. This jump is because they are now counting people who were covid19 positive on death as having died of the virus even though the cause of death was unconnected to infection. This I believe is the statistics being used in other countries like Italy and Hungary.
Prior to this change in Scotland, there was controversy over the statistics, because they did not distinguish between people who died of covid19 and people where covid19 was a contributory factor. It is estimated that about two thirds of the cases that were recorded were actually cases where the primary cause of death was not covid19. This makes interpreting Scottish statistics a matter of guess work, but I am now dividing headline deaths by four to get a better representation of the true effect of the virus.
The presentation of statistics is very important, since it is easy to mislead. Currently the public is presented only with headline numbers and running totals e.g. number of new cases this day and cumulative cases since the epidemic began. These figures are meaningless unless they are contextualised by comparing to normality. People don’t know what the normal rate of respiratory illness is, or the normal death rate. It appears that this is being deliberately missed out on media reports. If the media and politicians wanted to calm things down, they could show that compared to the seasonal norm things are normal, or a bit higher than normal. Outlets like the BBC know how to calm a panicking population, but are somehow using statistics to keep people fearful.
In the news vacuum, all that is talked about is covid19 related topics. While lockdowns have been talking place, stock markets have been falling, then suddenly rising as cheap stock is bought up. Some people are now making good money from investments in medical supply companies. Disaster economics has always been a good way to make money.
Very few people control the media, which may be one reason that some things appear conspiratorial. Those few who own the media also seen to have politicians in their pocket, who obligingly react to fear stories allowing money to be made from changing markets. This was a tactic used by JD Rockefeller and his tycoon friends at the beginning of the twentieth century to increase their wealth, creating virtual monopolies.
When this crisis is over, serious attention needs to be given to control of the media, control of politicians, insider market trading and covert cartels.
On a lighter note, I heard of one chap who was involved in a car accident and had a broken neck. He was in intensive care in hospital and questions were being asked about why he didn’t report that he’d just come back from Wuhan. Of course being tubed he couldn’t answer. He died a couple of days later from his injuries, but cause of death was entered as covid19.

And “Fear” is being a favorite in a tyrant’s “toolbox” for social-control.
A mighty powerful, and oft destructive tool – as a weapon upon the masses.
Now, the great political invention of exaggeration and hyperbole, make great bunkmates in the program of control through fear.
Edward Bernays would be proud!
