No it isn't, and it is a crime to misrepresent the cause of death on a death certificate. So again, please provide a link to where this is happening.
Coronavirus is not a cause of death. It is a complicating factor. Pneumonia is a complicating factor. Heart failure due to oxygen deprivation is a cause of death.
You can say he died from coronavirus but not that he died of coronavirus.

Thanks JonPreston for helping me crush this ****’s lies, I have been doing it every day. More than 300 people died of Covid19 in NYC yesterday. Usually it is about 158 people a day FROM ALL CAUSES. The doctors say they died of Covid19, but impimp know that they actually died from something else.. See, he just knows things, because he reads “the internet” and this is “all over the internet”. He can’t explain why twice as many people died as on a normal day, but one thing is for sure, they didn’t die of Covid19. The doctors just lied on the death certificates - All the doctors are liars. After he gives up this ridiculous claim, he is going to say the people ARE NOT ACTUALLY DEAD. The doctors just write fake names on the death certificates, and then send the people home because they are fine.

This is my first time on this thread, so it’s possible I do not clearly understand the argument.
My own theory is that deaths that would normally be assigned to pneumonia or cardiovascular disease are being assigned to COVID-19 - as long as the victim tests positive.
The proof for that should show up in the Weekly Influenza Survey. If COVID-19 is truly a separate disease entity, the USA “All Deaths” metric should reflect that.
Instead, in 2020 Week 11, All Deaths hit a near record low of 47,000. In 2020 Week 12, All Deaths crashed to 40,000, the lowest number recorded in seven years - 6,000 lower than the previous record!
In addition, 2020 pneumonia deaths are running 10% to 25% behind the same weeks in 2018 and 2019.
This is not definitive proof of my theory, but I am off to an encouraging start.
It takes two clicks to get to the spreadsheet I used.

Then - scroll down to “Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality” - almost at the bottom of the page.
Then - click on “View Chart Data.”
By the way - almost a week ago, the Director of NYC Laboratory for Infectious Disease claimed that COVID-19 “was the only respiratory infection circulating” in NYC, so all symptoms of respiratory infection are presumptively classified as COVID-19!
Here is some data showing the gross magnitude of over reporting CV-19 deaths. It’s staggering and should cause everyone to pause and ask why..
