Every Covid-19 death since April 12, 2020 is WITH COVID in the system. And Covid-19 can be "assumed" to be in the deceased individual's system if the doctor/coroner is in a hurry, or the body is too destroyed for testing.
Near the end of April 2020, I started a thread on this startling, unprecedented change the CDC made in determining Covid-19 deaths.
It was essentially a blank check that allowed hospitals, medical groups, doctors, coroners, to tap in to the massive $2 TRILLION that was unleashed by enactment of the "CARES Act" on March 30, 2020.

The new virus has / is killing more now on a daily basis in Japan.
235 cases of death on Feb. 19. 2022
Sadly, to say Japan is experiencing an explosion of positive cases. Thousands are at home and not at the hospital with mild cases at the moment. Its like rolling a coaster ride at the moment. No ONE IS SAYING THAT THE VACCINES IS CAUSING THE INCREASE OF DEATHS AFTER CATCHING THE CHINA VIRUS. This pisses me off. I feel the vaccines are actually causing the increase of deaths here. For those that have followed Japanese post know the death count was way low on a daily basis before the vaccinated people got vax. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

Many people do die of Covid at home just like they die of other stuff at home. My sister does the mortality statistics for one of the largest health care providers in Oregon. This has been the case from the very beginning. Many people are too poor to afford health care, live off the grid, don’t like doctors, and have a dozen other reasons for not interacting with the health care system until someone notices the smell and finds them dead in their cabin or apartment. Johns Hopkins estimates that less than half of COVID19 infections show up as hospital admissions.

Hospital admissions isn't a good way to judge the accuracy of the mortality.
Large residential facilities for assisted living and hospice often have their own isolation protocols with the means to use them. The patients are probably expiring there. That's also where the highest risk patients are, so it makes sense that there would be a high number of deaths never admitted.
I don't really trust data this fresh anyway. It's seems to take at least 6 months for numbers to start getting revised and recalculated to "real" numbers.

Right. If you look at the table at the bottom of: data.cdc.gov...
You'll see that about 30% of people who have died with Covid-19 in their system (according to the doctor/coroner), died in a place other than as an admitted Hospital Inpatient. (At home, Nursing Home, On the Highway, at the E.R.., etc.)
