Except that isn’t what your linked articles are saying. If Covid isn’t either a contributory or underlying cause, then it isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) recorded as a Covid death. As I understand it, it basically comes down to a question of ‘would this person still be alive if they didn’t have Covid-19?’ Someone who is flattened by a bus while they have Covid is not considered to have died from from Covid..
