Well yeah. But hey, I'm no journalist.

I stand by my assertion that nobody is trying to "hide" the "superbug" problem.

The human tendency to not self-report failures is a thing. But it's not some kind of biohazard conspiracy.

And one more thing about the death certificates...

I'm guessing that Frieden, the boss of the whole CDC, went on to say something like: "But it makes sense, because death certificates are primarily legal records. The clinical information lives in medical records." OR, OR, something more accurate. That's why he gets the big bucks. :)
