[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3368435, member: 5800"] That article is kind of a bit on the dumb side. It says: [I]Host Laura Ingraham read Jensen the guidelines, which say: "In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely (e.g. the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as 'probable' or 'presumed.'" [/I] and then later on says: [I]Jensen then told Ingraham that under the CDC guidelines, a patient who died after being hit by a bus and tested positive for coronavirus would be listed as having presumed to have died from the virus regardless of whatever damage was caused by the bus.[/I] So what about the guideline quoted says to list the cause of death as Covid versus "blunt force trauma from getting hit by a bus". Even then, the quote makes no sense because (in theory) testing for Covid should actually result in a definite "positive" or "negative". But again, the actual guideline as quoted doesn't say to not list the COD as Covid because of the bus. It does seem to indicate that if a patient was experiencing all the checkmark symptoms of Covid before death, and there's no other definite reason, then it is up to the ME/Doctor to make a determination and it would be "acceptable" to list it as such. It doesn't even say it's "required" to list it. It simply says acceptable because I would think that the CDC thinking is that most Doctors are big boys and girls that can use the matter between their ears. [/QUOTE]
