"Yeah, but that would be BS too.. How about we just report the truth, instead of having to

later?"
 
 This is a coding method.  Its not how the CDC releases case study material.  I'm sure people here know much more than anyone in the CDC doing the job themselves, but in this case, for me, I will just know that the stats include this provisional data collection method and not complain about how somebody does a job I've never done.

 Since the information is public, so public it was stated on national television, I don't consider it a lie.  Saying they aren't developing a provisional code for their own usage would be a lie.

"Well being a programmer I can see how you can code in a simple where clause (in database speak) where COD != NULL, don't increment the Covid count."

 Maybe they will go that route at some point.  There's explanation of why this method is being used, and it is fully disclosed, so again I don't see where the lies are.  Especially when people won't even use this material to create educated opinions to begin with.

(Most probably said with tongue in cheek)

So then, the CDC, has stated:
"... The criteria for adding people to the Do Not Board and Lookout lists are;
Known or believed to be infectious with, or at risk for, a serious contagious disease that poses a public health threat to others during travel; and any of the following three:
Not aware of diagnosis or not following public health recommendations;
Likely to travel on a commercial flight involving the United States or travel internationally by any means;
Need to issue travel restriction to respond to a public health outbreak or to help enforce a public health order.
Once a person is placed on these lists, airlines will not issue a boarding pass to the person for any commercial flight within, arriving to, or departing from ..." the United States"

Then you totally admit, freedom, is dependent on a,
person/committee.
(Which no one knows, who he/she, or they, are)
Defining what:
"...or at risk for, a serious contagious disease..."
(Which can be EVERYBODY)

Really means !

Sadly Trump is becoming part of the problem JOG. He's pulled $$$ from China. I'm really hoping he would send them lots of $$$$ in neat 410 million packages filled with good stuff like polonium and U235 and what not. Something with a nice and slow decay rate. If it will just destroy people and not touch buildings - well it may be a boon to the people of Taiwan and hong kong and the weigers in the west. But for sure don't use that kind in Wuhan and Beijing.

Cool.

"AND, every News reporter who broadcasts the number of dead just says how many have Died,, they dont add
But these numbers don't include the people who HAVE CV, but are asymptomatic, AND, the dead who have CV, but also had COPD, Diabetes, Hep C, Kidney disease,, whatever,, that May Well have been what ACTUALLY killed them,, "

 Then stop using news reporters as your education source.  Use more reliable material.

That was THE most lame assed thing I can remember you saying,, You should be embarrassed

That is correct, the policy is a lie.

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.
