Your task is to predict the verdict of a claim based on the provided question-answer pair evidence. The possible labels are: 'Supported', 'Refuted', 'Not Enough Evidence', 'Conflicting Evidence/Cherrypicking'. Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.

Claim: The CDC may have to stop calling COVID-19 an ‘epidemic’ due to a remarkably low death rate.

Q1: Has the novel coronavirus been described as an epidemic by the CDC
A1: Health officials and leaders have made several official declarations about the novel coronavirus. But the major ones weren’t about declaring an epidemic, and none were made by the CDC

Q2: Does low death rate translate to the novel coronavirus not being an epidemic
A2: No, because The epidemic threshold "refers to the point at which the observed proportion of deaths is significantly higher than would be expected at that time of the year in the absence of substantial influenza, and now COVID-related mortality." Deaths are a lagging indicator of COVID-19, partly because of a delay in the processing of death certificates. Death rates alone don’t "have bearing on whether COVID-19 is still an epidemic," given that the extent of the outbreak is the primary factor.

Q3: Is mortality rate alone enough to classify a disease as an epidemic
A3: Death rates alone do not define an epidemic
