EXPOSED: HHS Document Coached Senator On How To Overcount COVID-19 Cases — With Copy Of Document (Video)

[EDITOR’S NOTE BY ADINA KUTNICKI: Whenever and wherever there is an opening for the deep state to cause irreparable harm to the national fabric, everything is on the table. Everything. This is especially the case during times of crisis and chaos — knowing full well that a “good” crisis must NEVER, EVER go to waste! Hence, falsifying/jiggering medical records during a global pandemic is as “good” a time as it gets — a once in a lifetime opportunity! In this regard, conservatives, patriots, pay heed: NEVER, EVER forget their crimes against the American people!!]

Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator said he received a 7-page document coaching him to fill out death certificates with a COVID-19 diagnosis without a lab test to confirm the patient actually had the virus.

“Last Friday I received a 7-page document that told me if I had an 86-year-old patient that had pneumonia but was never tested for COVID-19 but some time after she came down with pneumonia we learned that she had been exposed to her son who had no symptoms but later on was identified with COVID-19, then it would be appropriate to diagnose on the death certificate COVID-19,” Dr. Scott Jensen said.

Dr. Jensen explained that this is not a normal procedure.

Dr. Jensen said for example if the same patient had pneumonia during flu season and he didn’t have a test confirming the patient also had influenza, he would never diagnose the patient with influenza on the death certificate.

SHOCKING: MN Sen & Dr. @drscottjensen said that he received a 7 pg doc from @mnhealth to fill out death certificates with a diagnosis of #COVID-19 whether the person actually died from COVID-19 or not.

Why is #MN inflating COVID-19 death numbers?

 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • National Center for Health Statistics • National Vital Statistics System  Vital Statistics Reporting Guidance Report No. 3 ▪ April 2020 Guidance for Certifying Deaths Due Disease 2019 (COVID–19) Introduction

In December 2019, an outbreak of a respiratory disease associated with a novel coronavirus was reported in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China(1). The virus has spread worldwide and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) a pandemic (2). The first case of COVID–19 in the United States was reported in January 2020 (3) and the first death in February 2020 (4), both in Washington State. Since then, the number of reported cases in the United States has increased and is expected to continue to rise (5). In public health emergencies, mortality surveillance provides crucial information about population-level disease progression,as well as guides the development of public health interventions and assessment of their impact. Monitoring and analysis of mortality data allow dissemination of critical information to the public and key stakeholders. One of the most important methods of mortality surveillance is through monitoring causes of death as reported on death certificates. Death certificates are registered for every death occurring in the United States,offering a complete picture of mortality nationwide. The death certificate provides essential information about the deceased and the cause(s) and circumstances of death, of death certificates yields accurate and reliable data for use in epidemiologic analyses and public health reporting. A notable example of the utility of death certificates for public health surveillance is the ongoing monitoring of pneumonia and influenza deaths. Accurate and timely death certificate data are integral to detecting elevated levels of influenza activity in real time (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm). Monitoring the emergence of COVID–19 in the United States and guiding public health response will also require accurate and timely death reporting. The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to death certifiers on proper cause-of-death certification for cases where confirmed or suspected COVID–19 infection resulted in death. As clinical guidance on COVID–19 evolves, this guidance may be updated, if necessary. When COVID–19 is determined to be a cause of death, it is important that it be reported on the death certificate to assess accurately the effects of this pandemic and appropriately direct public health response.

Cause-of-Death Reporting When reporting cause of death on a death certificate, use available, such as medical history, medical records,laboratory tests, an autopsy report, or other sources of relevant information. Similar to many other diagnoses, a cause-of-death statement is an informed medical opinion that should be based on sound medical judgment drawn from clinical training and experience, as well as knowledge of current disease states andlocal trends (6).

Part I This section on the death certificate is for reporting the sequence of conditions that led directly to death. The immediate cause of death, which is the disease or condition that directly preceded death and is not necessarily the underlying cause of death (UCOD), should be reported on line a. The conditions that led to the immediate cause of death should be reported in a logical sequence in terms of time and etiology below it. The UCOD, which is “(a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced thefatal injury” (7), should be reported on the lowest line used in Part I.

 Approximate interval: Onset to death For each condition reported in Part I, the time interval betweenthe presumed onset of the condition, not the diagnosis, and deathshould be reported. It is acceptable to approximate the intervalsor use general terms, such as hours, days, weeks, or years.

Part II Other significant conditions that contributed to the death, butare not a part of the sequence in Part I, should be reported inPart II. Not all conditions present at the time of death have to be reported—only those conditions that actually contributed to death.

As TGP reported over the weekend, the amount of Americans who are reported to have died from the Coronavirus is based on a CDC coding system that will “result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause more often than not.”

Dr. Birx confirmed this on Tuesday during a COVID-19 task force briefing.

A new ICD code was established to keep track of Coronavirus deaths.

The U07.1 code will be used for death by Coronavirus infection.

However, there’s another secondary code, U07.2, “for clinical or epidemiological diagnosis of COVID-19 where a laboratory confirmation is inconclusive or not available,” the CDC guidelines read.

“The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID- 19 being the underlying cause more often than not,” the guidelines read.

Dr. Birx on Tuesday told a reporter during a Coronavirus task force briefing, “We’ve taken a very liberal approach to mortality.”

“Can you talk about your concerns about deaths being misreported by Coronavirus because of either testing or standards for how they are characterized?” the reporter asked Birx.

“If someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death,” Birx said.

There is a big difference between dying with the virus and from the virus.
