Yeah, I think my post about that yesterday is what started our replies to each other.
People say these probable deaths are inflating the numbers and I was trying to argue against that. Coroners are looking at these bodies and putting covid on their death certificates. They just don't have tests for them. Pretty much exactly what they do for all deaths.
And there's no money incentive for inflating the numbers since most of these probable deaths are people who have died at home.
And for what it's worth, the CDC calculates flu deaths with an algorithm.
