6% of the cases only have "Covid-19" on the cause of death form, which likely means that those forms were not filled out thoroughly enough.
If someone gets COVID, which then develops into pneumonia, then dies of respiratory failure, all of those should be on the death certificate, but the root cause is the viral infection. "Respiratory failure" is not exactly a pre-existing condition.
So, am I getting this right? 0.003 x 0.06 = 0.0018, or 0.18% of confirmed COVID cases die of COVID and nothing else?
e: I haven't really tried to math for a while...please correct me if I'm wrong.
