Maybe they record whether a person has the virus at time of death. Just because one has the corona virus when they die, doesn't mean the corona virus is the cause of death?

From what I recall from a source back in January, I think it was a British doctor living in China, they do the opposite: If a patient comes in with say, heart trouble, but contracts a hospital-borne infection while there and dies of it, the death certificate records the patient as having died of the complaint they came in with.
