You're trying to approach the issue from a neutral stance, that's good. However, the way they are reporting fatalities it doesn't matter if you had covid, recovered, and then died in a car crash. You still count as a covid19 fatality. It doesn't matter if you had a heart attack, were not tested, and the doctor "felt" like it could have been caused by covid so he mentions it as a possibility in the paperwork. You now count as a covid19 fatality.
When it's all said and done, we will be able to go over the cases and have a better picture of exactly who died of what and which cases weren't even related. But the immediate numbers during the crisis are all being faked to stir up the public into a frenzy. That's the point. It's what the media has already done and now the people at the center of this are doing the same thing. Fake information, get the response we want, redact later after it doesn't matter anymore.
