"More likely, they're classifying every natural death to corona in hopes of getting more aid dollars and consolidating power."

Bingo!
I think we have a winner here.

On average, just under 1% of Americans die every year of natural causes -- it works out to about 8,000 per day.
Of those, 2/3 die from well known reasons -- heart, cancer, lungs, stroke, Alzheimer & diabetes, etc.

Now we see Covid-19 producing up to 2,000 deaths per day, but are those in addition to the other 8,000 or are we just reclassifying many who were knocking on death's door anyway as now "Covid deaths"?

One thing is a certainty of human nature -- whenever the government is handing out "free money", many smart people will figure out ways to maximize their own "fair shares".

That’s logical.
