Yes, and no, mostly, maybe
My best friend's mother-in-law passed a couple of weeks ago. She was in her 80's, living in a skilled nursing facility, had congestive heart failure and had to be rushed to the hospital at least one time per month because of diabetes. She died of "COVID-19". RIP Dorothy
If someone passes with COVID-19, healthcare providers / hospitals get more money. I'm thinking they do a lot more autopsies now if only to "trace" COVID-19. All that extra money is just a byproduct. I know they did an autopsy on Dorothy, something they would never do normally
Ever hear the expression "more people die with Colon Cancer than die from Colon Cancer"? That applies here to some degree. By that I mean fewer 80+ year old people are dying from natural causes nowadays (my theory, to be proven soon enough)
Another analogy. Yale University did a study on deaths caused by medical professionals. They concluded the numbers were vastly overstated. Why? because many of the deceased patients were elderly, terminally ill, didn't have a long life expectancy or didn't have much chance for living a quality life anyhow. Not all of those conditions had to be present, just one.
Which begs the question, what would the COVID-19 death numbers be if they applied those same standards?

True, except the expression about "1st world countries". Socialized medicine does allow terminally ill patients to die gracefully, only we give 95 year old patients pacemakers when they just want to die anyways. (my wife's grandmother)
You are driving down the road and get hit head on by a drunk driver. You are flown to your local hospital with a multitude of injuries. On day 3 of your stay, your condition declines and the treatment team finds on a repeat CT of your head that your brain bleed has worsened. Your brain herniates and you die.
What did you die from?
You died because your brain herniated from an intracranial hemorrhage and swelling. Pretty straight forward.
Why did your brain herniate?
Substitute SARS-CoV2 for head on collision. Substitute any number of reasons for brain herniation.
There is enough craziness in the world right now...please don’t add to it.
Here is a link for how physicians complete a death certificate.

what's the difference? do they get, ahemm, reimbursed for tuberculosis-related care? or how about gunshot wound care, AIDS, or high ankle sprains? of course not ... we've put a vehicle in place that rewards hospitals for misrepresenting the impact of a specific virus and they're more than happy to oblige.
Come on. You really think hospitals are faking numbers to get additional funds? The vehicle was put in place because they are dealing with increased numbers of a virus instead of their normal elective procedures that are having to cancel left and right. I had to put off hernia surgery (related to transplant) due to this very issue. Cleveland Clinic for a time had canceled all elective procedures. Same in my area. Many of these hospitals would go under without that vehicle.
Medicare pays 20% more to be exact
There is no reason to do an autopsy on my friend's mother in law, except to find that she was COVID positive (only tracing of course)the double standard being used
I'm not accusing hospitals of making up COVID deaths. I am saying they do autopsies now when they never would have, and when you combine that with Yale University study on medical malpractice, it helps to emphasize the double standard being used to which is terrifying Americans
My father in law died of pneumonia back in June . He was living in assisted care on Queen Anne in Seattle. He suffered from dementia became violent was put in restraints removed from home and placed in covid wing of hospital even though no covid. My wife and mother in law are still waiting to see what has been put on death certificate. He never had covid.Most hospitals “public” are broke you think if there’s a loophole to get payed there integrity supersedes this?
