A new report claims that President Donald Trump and task force response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx are pushing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to revise how it tallies the nation’s overall coronavirus death count.

Trump has called on the CDC to rework how states report their individual coronavirus deaths to the federal government, and Birx specifically asked the CDC to exclude deaths of individuals who have not tested positive for coronavirus and deaths in confirmed cases not immediately attributable to the disease, according to the Daily Beast.

In recent days, Birx has suggested that the CDC is over reporting coronavirus deaths by as much as 25 percent. She allegedly told CDC Director Robert Redfield at a task force meeting that “there is nothing from the CDC that [she] can trust.”

This will be reported as pure partisanship on the part of the President.  I can already hear Fredo's whining.

Yes, but will they?  I don't think so.

Yes, but will they?  I don't think so.

In my genealogy research, I have looked at literally 100's of death certificates.  There is a huge difference between "Cause of Death" and contributory.  I think the system has been corrupted where M.E's , attending physican, or coroners are getting marching orders on political bias.  You can die of a coronary, and if you just for some reason show a postive COVID test, the documentation care reflect the latter.

You just put your finger on why the CDC will refuse:  Weeding out the bogus Death Certs is likely an impossible task.

The staatistics matter, since they trigger "opening up" phases.

And it matters coming from her, not from Faucci.
