Beware the bears

Part of why many people question the death count when other factors have leading roles in termination is that (1) there is a monetary incentive to report a death as Covid related if any trace of the virus is detected regardless of how small or how big a role it played in causing death and (2) the virus is so widely mutated and some strains can hit with relativity minor symptoms and clear up without issue in the two week recovery period. Thus if you died of predominantly issues related to say, a heart attack, a car crash, trauma, with no real tie or definitive factor that CV 19 had anything major to with it or you had no symptoms related to CV 19 that could be tied to your death...well, it's sort of like saying the plane crashed because it was on fire, because all you found was a burned out crash wreckage. As for AIDS, it causes directly or indirectly the additional factors, like Covid can with certain pre existing illnesses or diseases.
