Part 6/11:

The strategies for confirming COVID-19 deaths seem driven by an intent to monitor the virus's impact broadly. If the goal is to catch as many potential COVID cases as possible, setting a high cycle threshold in PCR testing makes sense in theory. It ensures that even cases with minimal viral presence are counted, possibly aiding in containment efforts.

However, this approach also inflates numbers of cases and deaths attributable to COVID-19, sometimes muddying the true mortality rate. For example, individuals who get a positive test but are asymptomatic or have recovered may later die from unrelated causes but still be registered as COVID-19 deaths.
