The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently lowered the total COVID-19 death count by more than 72,000.
According to the agency, the government's algorithm over-counted
COVID-related deaths by 72,277 across 26 states, specifically including
24% of pediatric deaths (416).
The agency's updated overall death count due to the coronavirus stands at approximately 969,000. The change was close to 7.5%, which represents a significant difference with the total number hovering so close to one million deaths.
The large drop in the figure of pediatric deaths due to COVID-19 puts the total number at 1,341 nationwide. Children have accounted for about 19% of all COVID-19 cases, though just 0.00%-0.01% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in deaths.
To this day, the CDC's COVID death count does not establish a clear difference between individuals who died as a result of COVID-19, and those who died with COVID-19. A more specific differentiating standard between the two distinct types of death could lead to a further downward revision of the country's COVID death count.
