It is entirely plausible that cases are under counted and deaths are over counted. The thinking goes that if someone is just a little sick they aren't going through the hassle of getting an official test and being counted. If someone is nearing deaths door they are going to take action and go to the hospital or clinic so you're likely to have a very high percentage of cases leading to death being reported. Add on to that the fact that people who died in a car accident and happened to have a non-symptomatic case of covid was added to the death numbers. That might not be a huge number but it will have an effect at some level. I don't see how it could not unless you completely ignore them. Inaccuracies in data can cut in all directions. In this case though, over counting deaths and under counting cases (a deliberate choice made by the CDC) made the virus seem more deadly than it likely was at the time. Is there a plausible argument for an under count of deaths? If so, I have not had the pleasure of hearing it.
