    Hey guys, I got a great idea to address this number.

    If an infant dies due to complications we know about before its born, we just don’t count it.

    If they manage to survive great, but really, they were DOA anyway, so why should we be counting them.

    That should help bring the numbers back down!

      Or do the covid thing and just stop counting and reporting data altogether. Problem solved bigly!
