People died because hospitals
didn't have the COVID testing equipment for an accurate diagnosis.
!!!BULLSHIT LIE!!!!didn't have the COVID testing equipment for an accurate diagnosis.
They died from being put on ventilators:

Finally, we compared causes of death with a previous cohort (5) of 385
patients admitted to Michigan Medicine with AHRF (January 1, 2016, to
December 31, 2017) who experienced in-hospital death. We compared
characteristics of patients with COVID-19 with patients with
non–COVID-19–related respiratory failure using chi-square tests and
considered P < 0.05 significant. Data analysis was completed in R. The
study was deemed exempt by the University of Michigan Institutional
Review Board.
Results
We identified 82 decedents with COVID-19 who were 32.9% female and 43.9%
Black and had a median age 71 (61–81) years (Table 2). The most common
organ dysfunctions before death were pulmonary (81.7%), neurologic
(57.3%), and renal (39.0%). Out of the total, 74.4% of patients were
mechanically ventilated during hospitalization. A multiorgan failure
occurred in 67.1% and coinfection occurred in 41.5%. Septic shock was
present in 40.2% (24.3% with coinfection and 15.9% without coinfection).
The most common primary causes of death were pulmonary dysfunction
(56.1%) and septic shock (26.8%). Compared with the historic cohort with
non–COVID-19–related respiratory failure (who had a median age of 63
[55–73] yr and were 43% female and 82% white), patients with COVID-19
were more likely to die of pulmonary dysfunction (56.1% vs. 21.6%;
P < 0.01) and less likely to die of cardiac (7.3% vs. 16.1%; P = 0.04)
or neurologic (6.1% vs. 19.5%; P < 0.01) dysfunction.

Prior to death, all patients had presented with COVID-19 related lung
disease. Signs of respiratory failure were most prevalent with 88.5%,
while in 57.7% patients had clinical signs of bacterial pneumonia (Table
1). Microbiological records showed bacterial or fungal infection in 15
patients and most patients received treatments with broad spectrum
antibiotics (Supplementary Table S1). Furthermore, pulmonary
thromboembolism was reported in 23.1% of the cases with clinical
evidence of deep venous thrombosis in two patients (7.7%). Due to the
severity of lung damage, patient care warranted invasive ventilation in
76.9%, prone positioning in 53.8%, and extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation in 30.8% (Table 1). Aside from lung involvement, acute renal
failure was the second most prevalent organ failure and hemodialysis was
necessary in 69.2% of the patients. Furthermore, half of the patients
presented with multi-organ failure, while acute liver failure was
reported in 30.8%. These findings indicated severe and complex courses
of COVID-19 in these patients.
