Another fear-mongering commie trying to make everyone afraid of their own shadow.
They have been saying this every two months to frighten people. Every two months "The WORST is yet to come this MONTH! Then weeks later, "The WORST most HORRIBLE gruesome deaths await you if you venture outside.
No, that is not what she said. What she said was that presumptive deaths would be counted even if not confirmed by testing. The CDC guidelines state that presumptive cases are those for which, in the best clinical judgement of the person certifying the death, it was due to COVID-19.
"In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as 'probable' or 'presumed.' In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19 infection was likely. However, please note that testing for COVID–19 should be conducted whenever possible."
Probable or presumed diagnoses are commonly used on death certificates. If someone has chest pain radiating to the left arm and drops dead, his death certificate is going to say "probable myocardial infarction", because it would be unusual to do an autopsy, the only way to definitively confirm the diagnosis.
I heard a top infectious disease expert (anonymously of course) is touting that Covid is now over. I can even write an article about it so that I can provide links.
Well, s/he is full of crap! Any set of statistics will prove it.
That is really sad. Many people don’t seem to consider the cost of the restrictions which include lives lost.
people promoting these restrictions are doing so in a bubble. Fauci has never once remarked on the negative consequences related to his advice. Its criminal.
did you know there are still deaths from the flu despite a vaccine?
so if zero infections and deaths is the goal with COVID then not only do COVID restrictions need to be permanent, but they need to be even more restrictive.
Except death rates continue to decline as its picked off the most vulnerable already and doctor's have a better arsenal of treatments suplements and medicines to give patients. And with more people having caught it, the herd immunity gets ever closer. Thats what will stop it.
And on November 4th its no longer important no matter who gets elected.

There will be no true herd immunity without a vaccine.
It will still be important no matter who gets elected.
