A 37-year-old California man who died of a drug overdose has been added to the novel coronavirus death toll.

Though the death of the unidentified man was caused by a drug overdose, he also tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which was coded as a “significant continuing condition,” according to Ventura County spokeswoman Ashley Bautista, VA Star reported Thursday.

No doubt there are some deaths being included that shouldn't. Just like there is also no doubt that there are some deaths not being included that should be.

But perhaps more importantly to note - many times cause of death isn't actually as straightforward as we would like to believe. The old guy with bad kidneys that get's covid and dies of kidney failure due to the additional stress on his system caused by the virus - is he a covid death or a kidney failure death? Personally I would think he should count as both. Maybe the bigger issue is how our death records system is set up?
