The death certificate would only list Covid as the underlying cause of death if the examiner determines that it caused the pneumonia. So no, your contrieved example makes no sense. Read the reporting guide on the page I linked for you.
So you don't know better, but you do know better.
It's unfortunately the case for you in the US it seems, when you have people in power at the top who just want to play golf and do stuff all at doing what they can in their final days for the greater good.
You're not understanding how many of us 100% distrust anything the government or big tech says. And when they're working together, then we really don't trust them.
It’s frustrating that you both are so invested in your preferred narrative that you’re ignoring data that’s readily available. Again, please look at the CDC data I posted earlier about deaths above expected. If you think covid is not a big deal or death numbers are being artificially inflated then please give me the alternative explanation for why every week since March 2020 has such absurdly high deaths above expected.
I’ve read it. That’s not what it says. All causes of death are listed so you can’t just blame covid.The death certificate would only list Covid as the underlying cause of death if the examiner determines that it caused the pneumonia. So no, your contrieved example makes no sense. Read the reporting guide on the page I linked for you.

nice attitude ... hope I'm not running into you or anyone else for that matter
Do some research on what measures and lockdown were implemented in Melbourne, Australia, including contract tracing (not just state by state, but across the country) and read that in Melbourne we're now 37 days without any infections. Then look at what you wrote.
Sorry, but I don’t think Apple is off the hook here, either.
Show me where the 94% of deaths having 2.6 other conditions listed confirms covid is THE underlying cause and without it, those folks survive. Particularly the 60% of deaths that have nearly reached or lived beyond the average life expectancy.
There are unfortunately a lot of old, At risk people without a lot of underlying conditions.
Doesn't seem like there's disinformation when an ultimate goal is stated as a call to action even it might take more to reach that goal.
If that gets in the way of doing what needs to be done, with real costs to it, that's quite unfortunate.
since I have family working in various hospitals in LA, for many months now there were no covid patients and hospitals were on the empty side. The number has recently increased but not as crazy as they are making it out to be. The patients are mainly old people. Also many of the deaths were patients who had other issues like diabetes or something severe but it got labeled as a covid death regardless even if the patient was on their way out. The earlier tests were faulty and caused a lot of confusion. can't trust the rapid tests still. if every death is labeled as a covid death, what can you do? When you say that every week since march there were absurd deaths, this must be a joke because there weren't any covid patients in hospitals out here for months. I no longer watch the news so dont know what they are feeding you these days but I had enough of the manipulation. the news and the governor get to decide the truth while people in Florida get to live a normal life.
Do you get why deaths above expected is a relevant statistic? It’s because it takes stuff like “what’s on the death certificate” out of it. In a typical year X die. Now it’s 1.25 X (or whatever). Preexisting conditions were as prevalent in 2019 as they are in 2020 yet deaths are way higher.
You have to understand, many people in the US think we did everything we could. They think our initial lockdown was executed correctly (it wasn't); they look at our incompetent keystone cop approach and use it as proof against any further measures, like even wearing masks. (“It’s a hoax!”)
I don’t know? I’d need to see a lot more than 2019 versus 2020 to make a conclusion though.
This is what I’m saying. No hospitals in my major (top 6) are “at their breaking point,” but you wouldn’t know that watching the news.
Geography matters dude. You can’t just say Australia and the US are Apples to Apples. I’ve been to Australia and have seen a lot of people there acting just like Americans with Covid. There are 2 semi major cities in Australia and it’s a freaking island.
