     The article doesn't say they did. It really sounds like they looked at the expected number of deaths, the actual number of deaths, and the number of deaths blamed on coronavirus ... and then went into "what if" land.
     
     There have been other studies that found rather large undercounts, so I'm sure there is something to them. I have also heard (a lot) about dying with COVID-19 versus dying of COVID-19 but other than a few oft-repeated anecdotes, I haven't seen anything where serious research has shown this.
