not that I'm at all suggesting 'data' is being used in such a way to support the ongoing frenzy

This may provide some clarity.

Validity of cause of death: the GOV.UK data measures deaths following a positive test for Covid-19, but some of these deaths could be due to a different cause, whatever the interval from testing to death used for measuring them. The ONS data is derived from death certificates, and includes only deaths where the doctor believed Covid-19 caused or contributed to the death, making cause of death as involving Covid-19 more reliable.

If the patient has COVID but is asymptomatic, they are still a COVID patient...
