Seems odd that the US counts the way you describe.
If that is seriously how they count, no wonder there are so many tin foil hat brigade in that part of the world. That is just inviting conspiracies.

UK still counting deaths using stupid methodology. If you are tested positive, and you die within 28 days, you are assumed to have died from Covid. Even if you get hit by a truck. They "fixed" it by making the timeline shorter
