For a variety of reasons, many deaths are not being reported as caused by Covid-19, but rather other preexisting conditions which may have been complicated by Covid-19
Isn't it the other way around? That deaths are being recorded as COVID-19 even when there were severe underlying conditions and the person probably died of that? The latter seems to be the more common issue.
It makes death rates meaningless. What does it mean to say someone died of COVID-19 if they were 89 and had heart disease?
