Also, expect if anybody dies for any reason including heart attack, car accidents, cancer, pulmonary disease, if they test positive for Coronavirus the death will be listed at Coronavirus. Or at least there will be many people who will want this.

I wonder how much of this is already baked into the "death by" numbers?

Probably about as high as the many false test positives for COVID-19 that showed people were infected when in fact they were not. I heard that number was as high as 50%.

They are not likely to test people who are dead or dying. So they probably call anyone who dies and may have had contact with someone else who may have had some flu like illness amongst their statistics. They are quarantining people for the slightest of reasons here. I have no idea how this fits into their data but it seems likely to be wildly inaccurate.

Of the people they test, and they only test people with " symptoms" but they don't say what symptoms. But only the sickest people get tested. Of those 1/3 test positive for this virus, 2/3rds do not, and another percentage test positive with no symptoms. I've read the test itself can give false positives in up to 80% of cases. Lets say then that 15% of people with the most severe general symptoms of almost any sort of illness, actually test positive for this virus. I have read differing stats on this. It seems to depend on who makes the test and I for one have Zero confidence in its accuracy or any of their "Statistics".
