I think you joke here but this is exact problem with reported covid deaths - there was/ is not an accurate and constistant method used to count them.
Add more $$$ to the hospital for checkjng that box and you have what we have today - a sheet show.

there's a lot of misinformation and outright lies out there and people keep repeating them as truth.
I'll give you some that i have witnessed and really proved to be inaccurate. and these just from people at the legion
-2 guys walked in and said that kaiser was waiving all copayments if you said you had Corona virus. immediately called kaiser and asked that question, they said if i don't then i was expected to make all copayments as required.
- another said that her sister's friend was a nurse at another hospital and said that a floor dedicated to Corona patients was empty, they didn't have a single case. i told them my nephew and my brother's sister in law are at that hospital with Corona virus. both have recovered and are home now.
- we had a memorial for a member Saturday, she was 84 got Corona and died. she was cremated, the commander was upset telling everybody that she died of old age and Corona had nothing to do with it.
- and the famous square. a hospital that consistently lies about it will lose their medical/medicare contracts, that is a serious blow to any hospital, so they aren't gonna risk it. and any whistle-blower would get a portion of whatever gets recovered. they would have fights over who would be the first to report it. since it would be millions.
- another is the notorious underlying conditions. i have them but they aren't gonna kill me in the next week or month. so if i get covid and i die they maybe a contributing factor but covid really killed me,hence the joke about cancer.
anyway I'm out,
