Is it true that if someone testes positive or inconclusive for COVID-19 and they die no matter how their death is ruled as COVID-19 even if it is just a suspicion that they had the illness?

Asked by dasdfas over 5 years ago

According to numerous undisclosed sources that is the case with some scrupulous operations since Medicare pays more to the hospitals for a Covid death due to federal reasons than someone that has other issues. This is a very touchy issue but I personally believe it is more political than anything,
