in COVID cases to something else. I agree. Change to:
CAUSE OF DEATH: Killed by Trump.

(24 posts)I am not sure what tRump would be doing to the CDC to get cause of death changed. Cause of death is usually local coroner, no?

(36,128 posts)That's the chain of altering the facts.
Right now, Trump's loyal red governors, like Fla's Ron DeSantis, don't get federal cover for the undercounting they're pressuring their coroners to do. And they want it.
But professionals like coroners and medical examiners can keep two sets of books, too, and the truth of causes of death will eventually come out.

But... little that this maladministration does makes sense to me.

(4,142 posts)In time well know with some precision how many deaths can be attributed to COVID19 through excess death statistics. We know how many people die, on average, each day in a typical year. The excess over that can largely be attributed to COVID19. Trump cannot make this go away.
