I think this "new" information is about 9 months old, at least. These are the asymptomatics and pre-symptomatics and you will find them mentioned here many times on old threads in relation to being spreaders.
Just after reading your message I switched on the NEWS and China is very busy quarantining and spraying disinfectant all over imported frozen goods? Somehow China's actions smell of showmanship.
Excuse me, do we really need to not know when the CDC changes it's information because we already thought so?

Skipjack, remember they've got 495 pums. The map is updated sporadically and appears to be wrong. Happycamper - I'm willing to let the Doctors make the call on the death. If, but for covid, the person would live for a significantly longer period of time, they can claim a valid death due to covid in my book. I won't substitute my lay judgement sitting in front of my PC for theirs. Rye - You can go to the bottom of the CDC page, click a button and look at the chart. No, they didn't stop, but you can expect some deaths to go down, and others to go up. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
