Several states, over the last two years (NY, CA) went back and revised numbers downwards. Some speculate this is because of the rush to include any and all deaths, even motor vehicle deaths, as covid related if there was any covid positivity - even if that were not the cause of death.

The last 2 years many deaths from cancer, flu, traffic accidents, were classified as Covid. Even if you were stage 4, death certificate could go to review after the fact, and changed to Covid. Many cases went to review months after death, and some states reported weekly how many were up for review.
Sadly the stats for cancer, cardiac and others were almost non existent. If you face planted off your Harley, you were still tested for Covid. If positive you died from Covid. Gunshot was still counted as cause of death.
Thankfully, now if you fall off your Harley, and test positive you died with Covid. Puts stats back into perspective.
