美CDC承认:一些"流感"死者可能实患新冠肺炎

CDC director says some coronavirus-related deaths have been found posthumously During the House Oversight Committee discussion on the novel coronavirus response, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some deaths from coronavirus have been discovered posthumously. Rep. Harley Rouda asked CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield if it’s possible that some flu patients may have been misdiagnosed and actually had coronavirus. "The standard practice is the first thing you do is test for influenza, so if they had influenza they would be positive," Redfield said. Rouda then asked Redfield if they are doing posthumous testing. Redfield said there has been "a surveillance system of deaths from pneumonia, that the CDC has; it’s not in every city, every state, every hospital.” Rouda followed up and asked, “So we could have some people in the United States dying for what appears to be influenza when in fact it could be the coronavirus?” The doctor replied that “some cases have actually been diagnosed that way in the United States today.”
