COVID-19 death counts riddled with BS

New York death stats for one month are up about 25% over last  year.  But deaths for all other reasons are down 60%.  I call bullshit.  The counts are wrong and the reasons various.

Financial incentive. (More money, sometimes a lot more money)
No testing done.   (Early days, lots of places didn't have the tests or didn't bother.)
Ventilators have been killing people.
Decision to just call them all COVID-19  (NY funeral directors and ProjectVeritas)
They were dying of other stuff and also had flu symptoms
One patient with three tests was counted as three patients.
Hospitals don't agree how to treat COVID-19. Some ways let more people die.

There are troubling sides to the sickness and the bad is very bad.
But our stats are riddled with misinformation.
