If that’s accurate, how many are cases being over reported?

With all due respect, what is the point of this whole line of thinking? Does it make you guys feel better if some amount of the 10MM COVID cases and 243K deaths are overstated? This is an anecdote with a sample size of one, and quite frankly I know more people who probably had COVID and never got tested than likely false positives or 'double counted cases'.

What is the point of this, and what does it accomplish?

Here is a link to the weekly deaths (all causes). Notice the spike in April when COVID hit.

CDC Weekly All Cause Deaths

There is, however, some good news (if it holds up) is that as of October the number of 'excess' deaths that are likely attributable in some way to COVID, so our treatment seems to be improving dramatically (or the disease is mutating to become less virulent).
