Dr. Ngozi Ezike, llinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) director, addressed how coronavirus COVID-19 death are determined, according to the guidelines of the CDC.
Here, she explains it in full detail. Artificially inflated? Hospitals paid more to declare that someone has COVID-19?
If a hospital declares that a person has, COVID-19, the hospital gets $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient is placed on a ventilator they get $39,000, three times as much.
Senator and Dr. Scott Jensen says the American Medical Association is now “encouraging” doctors to overcount coronavirus deaths across the country.

her internship and residency at Rush Medical Center where she is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. She also earned a management certificate from Harvard Business
