This, literally every illness was linked to Covid, therefore all other numbers were lower. There was no distinction between “with Covid” and “from Covid”.
A few years ago a friend got the flu and as a result of his weakened condition died of a heart attack and the cause of death was listed as heart attack. If the same situation happened with Covid it would be counted as a Covid death.
