It was noted that George Floyd was COVID positive on the autopsy after his murder. So using the standard that many states have used, his death would count as a COVID death.
Yes many have died. Most of the deaths are accurately reported. However this gets tricky. There is a HUGE financial incentive to classify them as COVID deaths. The feds are reimbursing medical costs with a 20% kicker for COVID cases. So BOOM! you get more money if you run a test on them. It’s lunacy and outright FRAUD but it’s allowed and no one will say anything.
And oh look here. From The Atlantic (hardly a paragon of conservative thought/bias) has reported that he numbers are all d!cked up.

This is an issue that many in medicine have been discussing for the past few months. In Washington state shooting deaths were counted as COVID deaths.

Basically, it all comes down to money.
