. @BusinessInsider @kelseyvlamis I have just seen you have amended this article.
The article states that my assertion about HHS ending daily reporting "is true."
Yet it still claims "US Government to end daily COVID death reporting" is misleading.

"Daily reporting" means reporting every day.
If you hire someone to cut your grass "daily," but they do it once a week and say they still cut all the grass, you have grounds to sue them.
In the lawsuit, you would say you did not receive "daily" lawn mowing.

HHS death reporting is daily. It is being ended.
Reporting to the CDC via states is NOT 7 days/wk in most states, and hence can't be described as daily.
Florida, Nebraska, and TN report once per week. Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, and Alaska report 3x

The tweet said:
"US Government to end daily COVID death reporting."
That means the FEDERAL government will stop getting reports EVERY day. This is happening.
The fact that the CDC will then tabulate deaths with a delay of up to 7 days does not make it a false assertion. 4/

I am glad you added Dr. Caballero's response + the statement from HHS. That makes the article much more accurate. But still missing is the point I made in response: That "experts expect other states to follow" in ending daily reporting (Pew)

In short, I urge you to:
1. Amend the headline to be more factual e.g.: "Controversy erupts after HHS says it will end daily hospital death reporting
2. Cite the Pew article warning that states are moving to end daily reporting

3. I would also urge you to consider citing this warning by Dr. William Ku about HHS's action.
