How many died from Covid vs. how many died with Covid?
You would think that after two years we’d have things like this straight by now. What does it say about the level of discussion that we still need to ask for these sorts of clarifications?

Technically, there is a distinction. Yet, practically speaking, it would be interesting to know if this distinction is a major or minor issue in reporting Covid death rates. According to medical professionals, pre-Covid, determining the cause of death could be unclear, especially when a person had multiple issues. Therefore, they used their best judgment. It seems the same practice is happening now that Covid has come into view.
