If not tested for COVID-19, they should not be counted as COVID-19 deaths.
In whose interests is it to inflate the number of deaths from Covid 19?
Obviously there is an agenda being pushed.
I can think of few.
Hospitals, in order to get more funding, and free supplies.
Governors, in order to get more stimulus free money.
Democrats, in order to scream how it's all Trump's fault, and to get more stimulus for their pet projects, and to push for electronic voting.
Media, in order to suck it up to Democrats.
