If you are run over by a truck you are a Covid19 death

Colorado just admitted that regardless of what caused your death if an autopsy revealed you had the virus in you, you were added to the stats as a Covid19 death.

This is true for all states and likely was done to make the pandemic to look worse than it is and be in line for more federal funds.

First, this happened a week ago. And your reading of the situation seems suspect.

[quote] DENVER – The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Friday started breaking down its publicly-released COVID-19 death data differently – by the number of people who died directly due to COVID-19 and the number of people who died and had COVID-19.

...

According to Friday’s data, 878 people died in Colorado due to COVID-19, while a total of 1,150 people – including the 878 – have died and had COVID-19.[/quote]

Keep in mind - death certificates lag.
