It was closer to 300. There was a recent uproar after a 35 year old guy was classified as a COVID death when he died of acute alcohol poisoning with a .55 BAC. The state agreed that counting such cases was inappropriate and as a result, cases had been overstated by 31%.

Props to the Montezuma County Coroner for calling the Colorado DPHE out over this. The blowback has resulted in an actual, reliable count from the state.

ETA - The actual number of overstated deaths was 278.
