I think you are likely right. Or why would hospitals suddenly need mobile morgues to handle the extra bodies. There would be no "extras" if people were just dying of normal causes at the normal rate.

At least twice on CNN I have heard doctors speak of patients brought to over crowded hospitals, dying before they were tested, and not recorded as corona virus deaths.

That the disease more seriously affects people who have other conditions not only complicates counting, but spurs conspiracy theories and distrust of authorities--especially when combined with supposed "agendas" to tank the economy and make Trump look bad.
