CDC called to adjust U.S. COVID-19 death statistics to only those identified with distinctive markers on CT (to be a certified COVID-19 death), not co-infections or deaths with Influenza, Pneumonia or COVID-19. Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19):CDC: NVSS notes:
COVID-19 Deaths: 49,867 - Deaths must be verified by specific markers identified only by CT scan, if not verified, must be removed. See Also: Breakdown by state.
In a study of more than 1,000 patients published in the journal Radiology, chest CT outperformed lab testing in the diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The researchers concluded that CT should be used as the PRIMARY screening tool for COVID-19. -- CT provides best diagnosis for COVID-19: Radiological Society of North America, 26 February 2020.
Start of COVID-19 Global Spread moves to October - December 2019 Timeframe
24-48 hours for global spread via air travel, 3X more contagious than Seasonal Flu, incubation period 5.2 days, epidemic doubling every 7.4 days.
A genetic study of samples from more than 7,500 people infected with COVID-19 suggests the new coronavirus spread quickly around the world after it emerged in China sometime between October and December last year, scientists said on Wednesday.

- NEJM - COVID-19 - Evidence shows human transmission of coronavirus since mid-December: HRI: H-II OPSEC, 1 May 2020.
It is now clear that the COVID-19 spread worldwide for 3-5 months before testing, surveillance, containment and control measures were implemented in the United States. It would not be a surprise to learn that 100 million Americans were exposed, infected and experienced illness from co-infections in conjunction with the 2019/2020 Flu Season. If this were a lethal strain, millions would have been dead and we would have needed a vaccine within 3 months (about the time we started testing in the United States)..
Report: Suicide Rise from Lockdowns to Kill More than Coronavirus
Already this year global deaths by suicide are significantly higher than those attributed to the coronavirus. According to the respected Worldometers running tallies, there have already been 374,225 suicides since the start of 2020, whereas the Wuhan coronavirus has claimed 286,615 lives, Johns Hopkins University reveals.

What we do not have a grasp on is the number of mental health issues and suicides that will arise from massive unemployment, creditors hounding now unemployed workers, and depleted savings. -- Col. Doug Hurst (Ret), CEO, Third Order Effects, LLC, (3OE TM).
Sexual Assault and Physical Abuse of Children is a crisis discussion in all 50 states.
As hospitals see more severe injuries, 'the worst is yet to come' - Pennsylvania hospitals are treating more children with severe child abuse injuries, indicating the state's most vulnerable kids are not safe at home during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Temporary school closures result in a lack of interaction between children, their teachers and other mandated reporters in school settings.School officials are reliable reporters of child abuse. For example, of the 39,040 reports made by mandated reporters to ChildLine in 2018, more than a third were reported by school employees, Fogarty said.

Nationwide, upwards of 50% of COVID-19 Deaths were in Nursing Homes
Litigation focuses on lack of adequate care, secondary bacterial infections involving multi/extra drug resistant strains.

Social scientist: COVID-19 crisis fuels information warfare campaigns, but U.S. has yet to effectively engage
The United States and allies are pouring resources into technical and organizational responses to cyber threats, but still largely ignoring advanced efforts by adversaries to manipulate individuals -- even as information warfare emanating from China, Russia and other nations explodes during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to social scientist Dr. Aleksandra Nesic.
In response, government and industry leaders need to collaborate on a holistic, whole-of-society approach to information warfare, focus on the human “end user” of technology, information and messaging, and “rely on basic science to understand human behavior under stress and distress,” she said.

4 年Bradley Orndorff It is now clear that this $4.5 Trillion + public health catastrophe could have been prevented if defense experts were allowed to talk. We are now focused on the inability to communicate solid peer reviewed guidance due to Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA's). I've had similar discussions with Scott Tomson about challenges associated with counterterrorism, education initiatives focused on preventing radicalization to operationalization, that requires feedback and guidance from those in the field. Scott Mann shared how he was hamstrung in Afghanistan with regards to communicating reports on VSO to decision makers.
