Why did we lock down to begin with?

You bring this out when you mention comorbidity. Was it kidney failure or nCOVID19? When comorbidity isn't studied and analyzed through autopsy, and only one cause of death, that being nCOVID19 is given, the statistics are automatically and immediately skewed and therefore unreliable.

So, if most deaths don't receive autopsy, I'm not overly concerned. But with the response being what's it is, I should rather hope we wouldn't just trust a death certificate where the cause of death hasn't even been properly established by a pathologist. How many of these patients, particularly elderly who were already in poor health would have died within this timeframe without nCOVID19?

You know, jfrog, you remind me of one of my coworkers. He's absolutely convinced there's nothing untoward about the reporting of deaths from C19, and nothing I can say will sway him. In fact, you've even gone beyond him, by claiming they're potentially under reporting the deaths.
