As I stated and has been stated by others, people are being listed as dying from Covid even if it may not have been the cause. Stating it as a possible contributing factor and stating it as the cause, assumed or otherwise, is two entirely different things.

In my opinion, it is not.
If someone develops sepsis during a hospital stay from Covid-19, cause of death is Covid 19
Someone dies from Torsade de pointes from Plaquenil during an ICU stay for Covid-19, cause of death is Covid 19.
Someone develops pleural edema due to overly aggressive IV fluids while in the hospital for Covid 19, cause of death is Covid 19.
There is a reason why cardiac arrest shouldn't be listed as cause of death, and that's because it isn't useful or meaningful
