Democrats and the coronavirus death count

Red States:
As Tucker Carlson observed a few nights back, it’s obvious that the Democrats are trying to increase their chances in November by using COVID-19 as an excuse to inflict as much misery on voters as possible.
Democrats understand that the unhappier Americans become, the more likely they are to win. Unhappy people want change. It’s not complicated. So every ominous headline about the state of the country makes it more likely that Donald Trump will lose his job. The more the people suffer, the greater Joe Biden’s advantage. Democrats have a strong incentive, therefore, to inflict as much pain as they can, and that’s what they are doing.
The very same people who were saying we’d have over 2 million fatalities if nothing was done are now claiming Trump failed miserably because the virus’s official death tally is less than a tenth of that at around 150,000.
But we know beyond a shadow of a doubt even that number represents a flagrant lie which vastly overstates the number of Americans who died from COVID-19.
And we need to learn by exactly how much.
What we care about is how many people would still be alive if not for contracting the virus.
What we’re getting is something else entirely.
Few Americans know that a local CBS affiliate examined 589 alleged Palm Beach, Florida fatalities and discovered that far less than a third (169) had actually died of the virus.
Most are unaware that the COVID-19 death tally they’ve been terrorized with for months has included motor-cycle fatalities and gunshot victims.
But we have more than just anecdotal evidence that the real number of COVID-19 fatalities is many times lower than the one the Democrats and media will use to undermine Trump’s chances in November.
There are three factors that make the anecdotal evidence we’ve seen entirely predictable.
...
There is much more.

 There appears to be a monetary and political reason for juicing the numbers.  Some are listing the virus as the cause of death even if the actual cause of death is some other condition as long as the deceased tested positive for the virus.  This is happening at the same time we know there are some false positives for the tests.
