The methodology for counting a patient as a COVID death does not include verifying that COVID was a contributing factor towards their death.
Not true.US Doctors and coroners fill out death certificates with immediate and underlying cause of death on page one and other existing conditions on page two. If covid is not believed to be an cause of death it is not listed as one.
Not in my hospital. We were instructed to list ALL covid positive as Covid death. Even a special spot on the form provided by the govt and CDC. imDID my best to accidentally leave it uchecked, but as much mullah as we were getting, I am sure several more were just checked anyway.
Nonsense. There have been cases where they have been forced to ammend covid death count because the patient was positive but the coroner did not list it as cause of death.
