The death from/with covid distinction is only relevant here if there is a systematic difference in over/under reporting of covid deaths between red and blue states. If it's a constant bias regardless of state, it would not change the conclusion of the article. And it could only change the conclusion of the article directionally if covid deaths in red states are significantly overreported compared to blue states.

Nothing to do with red or blue states. * - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37729830 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37729830
