There are some who believe that the death count when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic is not accurate. The rumor is that hospitals are inflating the number of people they report having died from coronavirus in order to get more money. For example, some believe that hospitals are attaching COVID-19 to the cause of death to a person killed in a car accident, when in fact the virus had nothing to do with their death whatsoever. In an interview with Indy Politics, Brian Tabor, the head of the Indiana Hospital Association, calls that whole notion “hogwash.” He said that any funding hospitals get is in no way directly tied to the number of people they report having died because of COVID-19.
