Probably not a surprise to anyone but it appears that we are under counting COVID 19 deaths.

It seams that we have a spike in pneumonia deaths and people that die at home aren't being tested by COVID 19 due to the limited number of test kits available.

This doesn't surprise me at all considering my wife's experience. She visited her doctor and urgent care clinics multiple times after she returned sick from Vietnam. Nobody tried to identify what had caused her illness. It was simply diagnosed as pneumonia due to the fluid in her lungs and treated it as such.
