Only if a significant number of the population test positive. In November in England, 354 a day died with a positive test within 28 days. 1635 a day died anyway, meaning 1281 died without a positive test. If 1% of the population were positive, that would mean 16 people would a day "die with covid". To get 354 "with covid" deaths would require 20% of the country to test positive. Mass lateral flow testing in Liverpool last month (Liverpool being hit far worse than most of the country) showed 0.6% of the population with covid. Reports were they were pretty bad flows, missing about half the actual cases, so lets say 1% actually had it. That would mean that of 1635 people a day dying, 16 would "die with covid".
