If someone was in hospice with multiple organ failures or cancer and given around a week to live and suddenly came up Covid positive and died in 4 days, who the hell knows what caused the death. Adding a car accident victim or something like that to the count would be idiotic.
The idea here is to track Covid but also understand the true death rates and counts.

The problem is that govt added money into the equation. Let me ask you this. A guy comes into the ER as a car accident victim. He dies on arrival. Why would he even be tested for covid at all except that if he's positive that means an extra 20% in the hospital's pockets? These circumstances have happened. It's not right.
As to the question you posed, there is an answer. If someone has cancer and has a few days to live, anything natural that kills them will be assigned as complications from cancer. Natural being pneumonia, a cold, the flu, pulmonary embolism, or covid. Unnatural would be drug overdose, suicide, car accident, or murder.
