Even that number is being questioned. I've read that everyone who dies while they have the virus is being counted as a Covid-19 death regardless of the cause of death. A young person that has Covid and was experiencing mild symptoms gets killed in a car accident is counted as a Covid death.

I think that this pandemic is real and very serious, but there are a lot of questions about how a lot of the numbers are calculated.

There is also the problem of politics becoming involved. It is thought to be politically advantageous for some that the numbers are higher, while other's are trying to make it seem like it's not that much of a problem.

I have an uncle that died a few months ago. He went into the hospital for one thing. While he was in rehab, he fell and broke his hip. He evidently developed a mild case of Covid and died a few days later. No autopsy was done but e is listed as a Covid death.
