Flagged Suppression Signatures

Dashboard Freeze Order (2025-W16) Public fatality counter stalled at 3 while hospital admissions recorded 28 additional deaths under ICD-10 B05.
Pediatric Encephalitis Reclassification 12 secondary measles mortalities re-coded as generic encephalitis without primary viral linkage in public release.
NVSS Direct Registry Cross-Match 28 death certificates state Measles (B05.0-B05.9) as underlying cause of death in outbreak district.

Epidemiological Audit Standard

Per CDC Outbreak Response Manual & WHO Measles Surveillance Guidelines:

True CFR in developed healthcare settings ranges between 1.0% – 3.0% among hospitalized unvaccinated cohorts.
A published CFR of 0.21% against an active surveillance CFR of 2.18% represents severe reporting artifact.
Ascertainment ratio < 0.20 signals critical data suppression.
