The rest of the spitballing aside, your last point didn't hold up. Perhaps unsurprisingly, organizations like the CDC spend a lot of effort trying to get good estimates of mortality of various causes and have thought about this sort of thing before: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

The definition of the disease and disease mortality were nebulous. If someone goes to the hospital in panic because of a cough, they are ventilated and die -- was that from covid?
