[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5201037, member: 12952"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/dph-updates-definition-covid-deaths-mass-resulting-huge-drop-states-death-count/YE7FFYEL6JDJXEOHRO4CLOZKEY/[/URL] BOSTON — State health officials in Massachusetts are changing how they define deaths from COVID-19 and based on that new definition the state’s overall COVID death count will drop by about 3,700 people. The state says that as of March 14, the Department of Public Health will update its criteria “to align with guidance from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists,” according to a statement from DPH. DPH says it has applied this new definition - retroactively - to the start of the pandemic in March 2020 and corrects an approach that was “overly broad and led to an overcounting of COVID-19-associated deaths,” according to DPH.
