Presumably the UK SAGE advisers, but I couldnt tell you for sure.No. 28 days? There are people who have died within days of COVID. Whose idea was 28 days?

Australia records zero local coronavirus cases for first time since June
Congratulations Australia! This is what good leadership and waging war on the virus looks like. The lockdown in Victoria did its job and the rest of the country has been complying with the safety measures to the point where we got this amazing result.
I know it's not over, there will always be more cases popping up. But Australia is now in an excellent position to respond aggressively to any future outbreaks and keep things well under control. What a well-earned success story.
Back in the old days we had a :deadhorse: icon. Miss those.
Yes, death certificates have primary and secondary causes on them.
And docs would be expected no matter what the underlying diabetes/COPD etc to perhaps be the primary, the COVID per DRG's would be expected as secondary, no matter. MOO.
I really don't understand the push back on such here as to why the issue of adding COVID is an issue as those folks with diabetes, overwieght, COPD, their race, their ???? was #1 on the sheet and COVID was also. Don't they deserve the same efforts and drugs as others that might raise the DRG reimbursement.
I truly have sat on sidelines for these discussions for weeks and do not understand why it is an issue for some to add COVID to the death certificate alongside other conditions. Not asking that I be convinced as I've followed for weeks, did DRG time studies in the 80's (and yep, they were precedent for where we are now, but I digress) .. I think all have tried and given their best to educate others... so :dead horse: to me... moving on as I just can't understand why adding COVID is an issue if they have such.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn your governor and mine have each other on speed dial.Wow, looking at that graph, it's pretty obvious that there is a huge spike of excess deaths unaccounted for.
We kind of knew where this was headed in Florida months ago, though. Remember the warning signs?

Trust me, if you lived here all your life you’d still be confused.Why did Trump say that? Why is he trying to bring down the medical profession?
Sorry, I don’t know much about this as I’m in the UK, but I’m a bit confused why he would even say that
Dr Fauci has the patience of Job to be able to stay so level headed in the face of the White House insults and naysaying.
Interesting read. Thanks. What a tangled web.American government funds a Covid plasma manufacturing concern...that isn't.
A series of similar "investments" are recounted in the article.
Yes, that, too, is a false narrative. And, yes, people will run with that.
But that doesn't mean we should create another false narrative to counter the first one.
In my opinion, what we need to do is be clear and factual about how and when cases are under-reported, or inflated, because it's happening on a case by case basis.

Summary
What is already known about this topic?
As of October 15, 216,025 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported in the United States; however, this might underestimate the total impact of the pandemic on mortality.
What is added by this report?
Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths occurred from late January through October 3, 2020, with 198,081 (66%) excess deaths attributed to COVID-19. The largest percentage increases were seen among adults aged 25–44 years and among Hispanic or Latino persons.
What are the implications for public health practice?
These results inform efforts to prevent mortality directly or indirectly associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, such as efforts to minimize disruptions to health care.
Agree! Maybe the Doc really did tell him not to wear a mask. I doubt he followed it up with "but it's OK, just go out and do the things you would if you could wear a mask."Rsbm
If I had this medical issue where I couldn’t wear a mask because the doctor says it’s raises my CO2, then out of courtesy to others, I would have to forego church. I would not:
a) want to put others at risk
b) make others uncomfortable
c) make it where others wouldn’t go to church because of me
