CDC’s Latest Rules Change Forces States to Include Confirmed AND PRESUMED Coronavirus Fatalities — States Forced to Pad Their Numbers

The Worldometer reported on this on Monday.

In accordance with new CDC guidelines: 

New York: the numbers shown below include probable deaths (and, consequently, probable cases for the same number) as reported by New York City 

Maryland: includes probable deaths, as reported by the Department of Health (Section: “COVID-19 Statistics in Maryland”) 

Wyoming: includes probable cases, as reported by the Department of Health 

Most state reports and dashboards (such as Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Missouri, etc.) lag behind or show incomplete data with respect to the data shown by individual counties on their official websites and dashboards, which is what we collecte and aggregate when possible to show the most updated and accurate number in the table below. We will soon publish state-level pages with graphs and the breakdown by county.
