Who the heck cares if they tested positive. They could have died from getting a cold that moved in the chest and turned into pneumonia. I would love to see a comparison of deaths caused by those vs now. That's the really story
The only way to know the real story is to look at the excess deaths per month in 2020 and compare against past years, but you have to wait probably 6-10 months for that. Plus you have to account for changes in other causes of deaths (more suicides, fewer auto collisions, whatever else). We will never get the real story but that will be the closest thing, because these numbers are swimming in bullshit.
