It's not about being infectious or not, it's about the reporting of Covid deaths.

If I had flu and got knocked down by a bus, would flu be the cause of death?

If I had asthma and was fatally stabbed during a mugging, would asthma be what killed me?

If I had asymptomatic covid 19, but got electrocuted by bad wiring in my guitar amp, I'd be reported as a Covid death . .
