Because that's not how deaths are reported. In most municipal systems in the United States today, including NYC, there are but five categories of death:Homicide Suicide Therapeutic complications Accidental Other (out-of-hospital illness, person missing more than seven years, environmental, etc.) COVID is almost always either "therapeutic complications" (if the patient died while treating in the hospital, nursing home, or other clinical setting), OR "other" (if the person had COVID and died at home). Car accidents and suicide are in separate categories, and would be proximate even if the person was also COVID-positive. An exception to that rule would be a person so severely ill with COVID that they lost control of a car they were driving, but that is extremely unlikely. |
