How come the only dishonest ones are Covid, I guess lots of Spanish flu sufferers were shot in the trenches or blown to bits. These are guestimates not in any way accurate. Just pointing out the key numbers for your argument were wrong.

In the old days you had one cause of death, now you have a primary cause and contributing factors so as Covid can affect your heart you could die from a heart arythymia or coronary thrombosis caused by Covid. Do you class those as a Covid death? The CDC and PHE are saying yes do you believe it’s no?
It could affect your ability to drive so you die from trauma but had Covid Fever and vision impairment -Covid death yes or no.
Lots more scenarios for statisticians to decide.
Early Covid deaths were only those in hospital then community then care homes were added in and other countries found theirs changed over time. Comparison between countries is difficult.
