BS... when labeling every death due to Covid during a pandemic to get extra$. When hospitals so empty in NC=losing money so why not add Covid to the certificate😡
It’s far more complex. There are cases where covid was the only factor, and there are cases where covid was or may have been a contributing factor for someone who’s compromised to varying degrees. It’s lazy & poor reporting to give these no.’s out as such.
