Some states allow "probable Covid" as a death certificate underlying factor. This was really important early in the pandemic when there was a severe shortage of tests and it was impossible to confirm. A death at home with fever and cough during the early days in NYC might get "Probable" on a death certificate. Some states only want it listed with a positive lab test.
Here is a Scientific American piece looking at claims that deaths are over-reported
The CDC tracks all deaths and has a very good baseline for the number of deaths expected from all causes. If Covid really kills people then for 2020 there should be more deaths reported than the expected number. Guess what, there was a
huge jump in deaths in 2020.
You can see excess deaths over expected on a week by week basis
HERE You need to change the graph to show the USA if you care to see our data.
