Misattributions could be referring to two possible things: A) Uncertainty about how deaths are effectively false positives, and how many "deaths due to COVID" weren't counted. This is a combination of plain uncertainty, not having testing available for everything, all the way up to people fudging numbers (perhaps by choosing not to test categories of deaths). B) It's unclear (as in people will argue, on both sides) if "deaths with COVID" vs "deaths due to COVID (with some definition of 'due')" is the right measure. The failures is just shit talking (shit talk can be both deserved and undeserved) the government responses. The basis of the shit talking is that the red and green lines should be far closer to the previous baselines.
