The challenge with the death statistics is that they are over inflated. In at least some states, anyone who dies regardless of the cause of death who tests positive for Covid in the postmortem is classified as a Covid death. So if I die in a car accident today and then test positive, I’m added to the statistics. A more meaningful measure would be to track total deceased positives AND deaths where Covid was the primary cause of death. Because many of the local cases, particularly in nursing homes, were people basically in the verge of death already.
