This is one of those where the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Did a higher number of people die than normal? Yes. Was that directly related to the country's shift in response (from handing out water and food and repairing infrastructure to tossing paper towels into a crowd)? Maybe.
It would take looking into each one of the deaths during the immediate period after, which I don't think was done. It sounds like they just said 'well, there was a higher mortality rate.'
