some of you know this some of you may not: if a patient was NOT a known positive COVID but she/he passes away before getting tested, and the doc thinks the characteristics were those of a positive COVID, the doc can put COVID on the death cert as the cause of death. a doctor who sees all the earmarks of COVID can also rule it out. they have a lot of power.
i believe Blue state doctors are inflating their death numbers whenever possible. I believe Red state doctors are deflating theirs whenever possible.
the net result? probably cancels each other out so you can trust the numbers for the most part..
