Everyone who had a positive test is counted as a “covid death”. Irregardless of the actual cause of death. This is not true. Or, more accurately, it is not more true about COVID-19 than other diseases. If someone tests positive for COVID-19 and then has a car accident, the cause of death does not add to the COVID-19 death count. As was the case before COVID-19, the physician fills out the death certificate with the immediate cause of death and the circumstances leading up to that immediate cause. There are some cases where the cause of death is not entirely clear, but this was the case long before COVID-19. Examples would include George Floyd, who had a knee pressed on his neck, exacerbated by heart disease and diabetes. The official cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression" despite the fact that he tested positive for coronavirus.
