CDC lists deaths that INVOLVE COVID-19 or presumed COVID-19 (untested). Involve does not mean the cause of death.

There are spikes in pneumonia death rates in several states with large numbers of Covid cases as well. Again, highlights the need for more thorough after the fact analysis of the data, and makes more curious the decision to cut the CDC out of the loop on some of the data analysis.

And while I'm not an epidemiologist, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, there is a lot of epidemiological work being done on this front, and, to keep this connected vaguely to baseball, my baseball playing graduate student child is studying in this field, so it's not like I've never chatted with someone with some reasonable background in the math.
