No there is no good easy answer. Think of it this way:
As a physician you are treating a person with severe chronic pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure who requires continual high level 02 just to stay alive. He is admitted via the ER and tests positive for the Covid-19. You do your best to treat each disorder but the patient dies. Did your patient die because of Covid-19 or with Covid-19. Remember most people who test posivie for Covid-19 are without symptoms so maybe he died of his underlying disease and not because of the virus. But maybe the virus actually killed your patient.
You can't decide one way of the other. How do you sign out his death certificate and how does the State catagorize his death?
