That's why it's vitally important everyone keep their eyes on the all-cause mortality rate. If the all-cause death rate remains within a single standard deviation of the annual average, then this virus was nothing special.
The sad fact of the matter is this is how it's almost always done. Most CDC statistics are a lot more "best guess" than hard science. Doctors rarely test to see which of several hundred possible viral infections a patient actually had. The tests are expensive, slow, and don't actually have much impact on treatment.
There's a lot more, give them this medicine and see if it works than there is, run this test and determine exactly what the problem is in the medical industry. That's not an indictment, it's just how things really work.
That's why early reporting that alleged to know things with certainty were immediately suspicious to people that are familiar with how the data collection and analysis system actually works.
Not good. Why would they want the numbers of deaths to appear to be as high as possible?

Muh statistics
Fed. Money.
So people will panic and crash Trumps economy.
You know why.
Because it would make Trump look bad. And they can continue to scream for more stuff from the feds.
Ahh, the Italian model. 🙄
Mama mia!

The Chinese model was to cremate, listing cause of death as pneumonia...
This is the same shit they pull with 'gun related deaths' in order to get the stats they want.
Sure why not...it's the easiest thing to do to rule cause of death to covid-19
