It reminds of the movie Sleepy Hollow when the Jailor says "if you find them in the river then the cause of death is drowning". When Johnny Depp argues that it could be the case but the person could also have been dead prior to being thrown into the river he gets scoffed at for even suggesting such.
I'm just saying with the way the media loves to tout the death toll we need to be ****ing sure what is being reported is accurate.

You cannot be 100 percent certain.
I'm not sure what distinction you are making,. I use the words "cause" and "contributed to" and similar ways.
Your analogy is an interesting one, but I use it to come to a different conclusion. If someone had a heart attack while swimming and then drowned , they both are causes of death. This is why Covid-19 will show up on death certificates if it is thought to have contributed.
