2. Correct. That's why I wrote "can be"

What can be done is to compare death rates for each month with 5yr-to-date comparisons to see any spikes

Because US lacks the adequate ability to test for the virus

3. As it can by bacteria and fungi and similarly bilateral interstitial pneumonitis (freq confused) by

autoimmune conditions, mold, and other environmental exposures.

We do track pneumonia deaths along with influenza (see CDC's MMWR link)
