More confirmation the corona death toll is made up

What they're telling us, if you're not tested, but if it looks you have symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath), and later die, you will be counted as dead from COVID-19. That's interesting, since coincidentally flu have the same symptoms.

It says no such thing! And you know it!
Here is what it actually says:
What happens if certifiers report terms other than the suggested terms?
If a death certificate reports coronavirus without identifying a specific strain or explicitly specifying that it is not COVID-19, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify whether or not the coronavirus was COVID-19. As long as the phrase used indicates the 2019 coronavirus strain, NCHS expects to assign the new code. However, it is preferable and more straightforward for certifiers to use the standard terminology (COVID-19).

What happens if the terms reported on the death certificate indicate uncertainty?
If the death certificate reports terms such as “probable COVID-19” or “likely COVID-19,” these terms would be assigned the new ICD code. It Is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases. If “pending COVID-19 testing” is reported on the death certificate, this would be considered a pending record. In this scenario, NCHS would expect to receive an updated record, since the code will likely result in R99. In this case, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify if test results confirmed that the decedent had COVID19.

Current Tramp body count 20,456, most in the world.
We're number 1

So you omitted last paragraph where it clearly says: "COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death".

The assumption would be based on symptoms since, as they never tire of reminding us, they are lacking in actual tests.

There you go again taking everything out of context, the context being what I highlighted which was PENDING TESTING. As it says if there is any uncertainty the states are expected to test to confirm the cause.

You can’t do math. You must be a democrat.

It's you mindless wing-nuts who can only do "fuzzy math," but you knew that already!
COVIDIOT Tramp Breaks his old record, 20,513 deaths!

You don’t understand proportion?

OK lets compare proportionally S Korea to USA, they both got their first case about the same time.
USA has about 6 times the people as S Korea, we have 16 times as many cases and 96 times as many deaths.
Great job Trumpy!

S Korea only had two regions to isolate and they got on that quickly. S Korea didn’t have state and local officials telling their populace to continue business as usual.
You’re a hack.
