There is no evidence that supports 7 million people died from Covid
An unsupported opinion from an anonymous person on social media folks. Not the best source of medical advice. In fact only 5 localities, with a total population of about 13,000, have failed to report any deaths from covid.
User u/tuchodi is posting medical misinformation studies and journal articles from scientific and academic institutions.
She complains about others editing comments but has no qualms about doing it herself folks. When she says:
The definition of « probable Covid death » is: “The absence of a confirmatory Covid lab test”
She feels it's necessary to provide only part of the quote. The whole definition is:
"A probable case or death is defined by i) meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19; or ii) meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence; or iii) meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19" https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/us-data/
She may feel that a lab test is the only thing that counts but forgets to tell you that it's the only part of the definition that fits her narrative.

Fixed that for you.
User u/tuchodi copied a link from WorldOdometer
Even WorldOdometer confirms: "As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include « probable Covid cases » and « probable Covid deaths »
The definition of « probable Covid death » is: “The absence of a confirmatory Covid lab test” https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/us-data/

TL;DR
Worldodometer confirms they count “probable Covid deaths” LOL 🤣😂🤡
Worldodometer counts deaths even though these deaths do NOT have a confirmatory Covid lab test.
Old boomer gets WRECKED. again
Anonymous posters on social media state that only lab tests count.
Scientists and medical & public health experts disagree.
Anon can have her own opinions but she can't have her own facts
