It’s just like communists or democrats counting votes, it greatly matters who is classifying and counting these deaths. Other than being dramatically lower than what we’re told, who knows how many are actually dying of CCP flu?

I don’t have anything beyond the official sources, so verifying exactly what happened in the case of each individual death isn’t something I can help with.

I can say that the official CDC guidelines for classifying deaths as COVID-19 (available here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf) are pretty reasonable. They basically say you need to establish the sequence of events that resulted in death and determine what triggered that sequence of events. So if the person fell off a mountain and died, that isn’t COVID even if they were infected at the time of their death. If the person had COVID-19 and developed fatal pneumonia because the epithelial cells in the lungs were so badly damaged, then you have a COVID-19 death.

But whether the coroner/medical examiner is actually following that guidance for each case? I have no idea.
