How does NC count covid-19 deaths.
Some countries/states attribute death to covid-19 if it was contracted in a fixed period prior to death - 28 days is widely used.
Others attribute death to covid-19 if the person continues to be treated for the condition(s) that covid-19 triggered (e,g. pneumonia). Example - an elderly man who was infected in March 2020 who died in December 2020 was included in NSW's covid-19 stats because he was still being treated for the conditions the covid-19 infection triggered.
