Do all the states use the same methods to count covid-19 deaths? What is that method?
In the UK we have two different numbers.
The Public Health England number is anyone who dies in an NHS hospital who has been tested (and had a positive result) for covid-19.
The Office for National Statistics number is anyone who dies where covid-19 is mentioned on the death certificate.
> fever checks along with testing
People are infectious before fever develops, and they stay infectious after their fever ends. Some people have covid-19 but don't get fever -- they might get one of the other symptoms like anosmia or upset stomach.
