*The CDC's "guidance for certifying COVID-19 deaths": * https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-1-Guidance-for-Certifying-COVID-19-Deaths.pdf
*From Sharyl Attkisson:* *I’m not suggesting this has any relevance to coronavirus [though I am—MCM], but many people are asking * *about CDC’s over-count **of H1N1 swine flu in 2009.* *I started investigating that topic at CBS after getting tips, including from a government scientist. **CDC had just * *issued a directive to stop lab testing for swine flu and just “presume,” for the sake of a count, that everything * *that came **into the doctor that looked flu-like, was swine flu. **My government source told me: “They’re either * *trying to overcount or undercount; it’s your job to figure out which.” **I did that by looking at what the lab results * *said at the time CDC wanted to stop further tests.* *Mind you, they had only been testing those most likely to have swine flu based on travel (such as to Mexico) * *and symptoms—so the results should have been heavily positive for swine flu.* *CDC declined to give me the lab results in a timely fashion. **So I went to each state individually.* *In the end, the vast majority of the tests were negative for swine flu. In fact, they were not even regular flu, * *meaning they were some sort of other upper respiratory infection. * > > https://www.cbsnews.com/news/swine-flu-cases-overestimated/ > > *If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine > flu" <http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/qa.htm>in recent months, you may be > surprised to know this: odds are you didn't have H1N1 flu. * > -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
