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?

How many weeks does it take to get a full autopsy, pathology, and toxicology report from a coroner before a final cause of death can be determined and announced?
