Well depends, are the people dying as old if not older than the average life expectancy, and/or have a pre-existing condition? If so, I'd say they don't count as Covid Deaths. If you have a massive tumor in your lungs and then you get Covid... Did the Covid really do anything? Sure it put you over the tipping point, even though you would have died in a week...
Dont get me wrong, Covid is real, you're just not gonna drop dead if you are a healthy adult with a good nervous system though...
