That's not what recovered means. Also do we know how long the virus can survive inside a dead body? Because if the virus doesn't die immediately and you declare them "recovered," technically you're still wrong. And just as stupid.
Maybe something was lost in translation here, but the virus modelling software they are using looks at whether a person can infect others or not. Whether you're dead or recovered, you're non-invective, and that's what's being measured.
Recovered + Deceased = Removed
