How many recorded Covid deaths in the United States are actually people that died WITH Covid and not FROM it.?

Question

Lots of people who catch the virus have underlying medical problems such as diabetes and heart disease that by themselves cause a person to die. Just because a person has contracted covid does not mean that is actually the cause of death. A person with covid dies in a car accident, why has the cause of death been listed as covid? Is it that important to some that the numbers remain high to prove a point even though the opposite is true in reality?

Update:

Andre, that is pure speculation. You are trying to tell me that if not for the virus, no one would die from heart or diabetes problems which actually happens many times every day to people who have not contracted the virus.

If they died FROM covid-19 then they died WITH it.

The flaw in the "Oh they died from something else" argument is that mortality rates for other illnesses suddenly jumped much higher, for no apparent reason EXCEPT COVID-19.

I am sure that there were some "died with Covid" deaths that are counter as "died from Covid" deaths.  But there are also died from Covid and nobody realized they had it death that have not been counted.

All of them.

Covid turns conditions that can be managed safely into killers. Without the Covid infection, those people would NOT have died, at least not this year, from those conditions.
