People think #coronavirus deaths are overcounted because so many of the dead had other major health issues. But I doubt this is as big of a problem as people think. Try some examples in this thread.

If people believe that the deaths are over counted there are only two options. Either there is a grand conspiracy, or Doctors are stupid. Do either one of those sound credible?

It’s much easier than that. The government has created financial incentives to code deaths as CV19. People will act in their interests. Doctors are neither evil nor saints. But they and their managers will follow the economics.

How about, man in hospice with lungs filled with tumors dies, then nasal swab indicates Covid-19?

That is the 5% misdiagnosed.

I believe most people are saying there is incentive to have bias because of federal reimbursements for Covid related deaths. Probably not a big difference though IMO.

It is free money. If patients' charts have COVID-19 diagnostic criteria documented, then payments are legal. Should they leave money on the table?

Slightly missing the point although I agree with you directionally. Point is ANY minor adverse event in these high risk and elderly patients will end their lives and those indirect events are going to happen regardless of whether it’s Covid or a fall or flu or infected sore etc

Have you read the document telling doctors to put down C-19 as UCOD with no test or diagnosis?
