[ExI] not necessarily? do explain please...

[spike at rainier66.com]

I have been away for a coupla wk camping, mostly away from internet.  The
first things I checked upon my return to bandwidth is the covid rate in my
county:

 

https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/dashboard-cases.aspx

 

Can someone help me understand why the chart says Cumulative COVID-19
Deaths, but that comment down that the bottom seems contradictory:

 



 

 

"Deaths provided in this dashboard do not necessarily mean that the
individuals died from COVID-19."

 

OK, um. sure.  So. why are they in the database under "Covid-19 deaths"?

 

Over time, the number of people coming to the county coroner with Covid
antibodies accumulates.

 

If I count the new case rate from about 2 wks ago and compare to the current
death rate, I too am getting about half a percent:
