that Florida is basically attributing all deaths (except traffic accidents, murders, etc.) to Covid-19 and letting the CDC try to figure out which ones were truly a result of Covid-19. I don't know if that's true or not, but I have heard/read that many states are listing Covid-19 as the cause of death for patients who have succumbed to any number of natural causes, including COPD and congestive heart disease. Even if these patients tested positive for Covid, it might just be the "final straw" in many/most cases, meaning many people would have died sooner or later from their illnesses even if CV-19 didn't exist.
I have to think that's the reason why many other countries have such low Covid numbers and mortalities.
