    I found this article to be very intriguing. I have always wondered if health officials alter the death certificates and state that individuals pass away from Covid-19 when they pass away from a different disease. I like how you introduced first the misinterpretations and then expressed the total death amount due to Covid-19. I am very appreciative of the data provided to express the number of deaths for Covid and pneumonia and the flu. Overall, I found this infographic to be informational and set up nicely. Covid-19 impacted not only my life but everyone in the world, so learning more about underlying health factors and the effects on individuals, will overall help public officials constitute what is a Covid-19 death or a different disease.
