> it's hard to say "let's pretend that dead body died of something else" Pretends is a strong word. How many people who died of pneumonia during the last months did die of covid-19? It's not possible to know unless you test every dead person, even those who were never hospitalised. Respiratory infections is not an uncommon cause of death with the elderly. Not every country have tested exhaustively for this, which need not be of ill intent.
