2 years ago if the same thing happened, but it was the flu this person had, would they put death by flu on the death certificate or death from fall from roof?

You know the answer...

It could be a Flu induced roof fall? How do we know somewhere in the USA some roofer had the flu, was disoriented, fell off the roof and died and he tested positive for the Influenza.

So now we are accusing Doctors and Coroners across the country for lying on the Death Certificate.

And I am not going to get into all these hypotheticals, but hear are the CDC guidelines put forth to record COVID-19 deaths, with an example. The Immediate cause is listed, Respistory acute syndrone, 2 underlying factors that contributed to the acute Respistory acute syndrone, which killed the person, were Pneumonia and COVID-19.

So I think again people are looking for anything to justify their ex ante political biases. These are the guidelines from the CDC which are part of the Department of Health and Human Services. These guidelines were approved back on March 4 before COVID-19 even blew up

So the case you laid it out is within the approved guidelines. The immediate cause of death would be "Fell off a Roof" the underlying condition would be listed as COVID-19.

So if the same guy fell off the roof and died, it would be listed as immediate cause of death, underlying cause lets say was Heart disease an the guy had a stroke, lost his balance and fell off the roof. The Reporting and Accounting for it would be the same.

Again, put down the politics just for a second and look at the Death Reporting guidelines set up on 4 March 2020. In the context of us here in Louisiana, that was still 9 days or so before schools shut down across our state.
