My suggestion is that a task force be assembled to review in detail every death certificate that lists CV-19 as either a primary cause of death or a contributing factor.
120,000 is a really low number to review. Should take about two weeks.

One more time.
These are only classified as dead people. No reason why. Only that they are dead. Here is the CDC data. I did it in one minute.

You can see the national number. As expected for the first 8 weeks. Less than a 1000 covid deaths within those first 8 weeks. Then the number of deaths started to climb. Peaked at 40% more than expected the week of 4/11 and slowly started to decline as distancing measures took place.
There is also state data. That state data includes the same first 8 weeks where there was basically no increase. The last 5 or so weeks data is incomplete.
If we look at Arizona we see they have 110% more than expected which includes the first 8 weeks where there were very few additional expected deaths. Also, those last 5 weeks or so are incomplete. Pull out those first 8 weeks where we were at the norm, add in the additional unreported deaths that will come in over the next few weeks and Arizona is at 20 to 25% higher than expected over a 2 month time frame.
The states that bore the brunt of the initial surge show exceptionally high number of deaths.
