REGARDING:
“Does it mean there were a lot of Flu deaths counted as Covid deaths under the CDC presumption clause?”

Since they can test for flu, it seems unlikely doctors confused the flu deaths. More likely that isolation reduced transmission of flu virus.

Response to Anne: you can look up exactly how the deaths are calculated on the CDC website. Here is the just of it.

Anyone who tests positive for Covid 19 and dies should be coded as death by covid 19 (I forget the actual code number)

Anyone who is presumed to have covid 19, but no confirmed result, can be coded as death by covid 19 absent any exigent circumstances.

So…How many of the deaths are from Covid 19 and not another illness, disease, etc? My opinion is nowhere near as many as reported. If you take a look at the Flu deaths this year, they have somehow miraculously fell to almost zero since the coronavirus virus struck. Does this mean that Covid 19 eliminates the flu? Does it mean there were a lot of Flu deaths counted as Covid deaths under the CDC presumption clause? You’ll have to make your own educated response unfortunately.

The CDC site is updated daily, and all the data is there for interpretation.

One other point, if you look at death count by week for the U.S., there are actually less deaths reported nationwide (barely) than before the virus, so overall, no more people are dying from any means now than before the virus. You would think with all the Covid 19 deaths, there would be a substantial spike in overall deaths had Covid 19 been the cause, right?

Again, these are my observations only. I’m not a doctor, expert, or anything of the sort. Just some statistics nut looking at numbers on a page.

REGARDING:
“Was the cause of death actually those pre-existing conditions rather than the virus?”

Usually there were preexisting conditions. (I have several of them — such as being fat and 65.) They didn’t die of them until COVID-19 hit them. They didn’t need mass Graves in New York City until COVID-19. It causes several conditions itself such as pneumonia in most but attacks the hearts of others.

Sometimes no other conditions were known.

Would be interesting to know Full Facts on those who have died.
Were there pre-existing chronic illnesses that they had for some time before death?
Was the cause of death actually those pre-existing conditions rather than the virus?

Have heard that any death where COVID-19 is present is being classified as Cause of Death is COVID-19 no matter if the true death was caused by pre-existing ailments.
Anyone know if there’s any truth to this?

Keep practicing the Distancing and avoid Gathering Up and follow the guidelines for good hygiene, hand and face washing and avoid crowds.
