   KHN senior correspondent Markian Hawryluk joined KUNC's Erin O'Toole on
   "[2]Colorado Edition" to discuss [3]his recent story that detailed the
   challenges in determining the full death toll from the coronavirus
   pandemic. He also appeared on WNHN's "[4]The Attitude with Arnie
   Arnesen" to discuss the article.

   His reporting delved into the various ways that officials count deaths
   from the pandemic. Without widespread testing, he found, officials must
   sort through presumed COVID deaths and those who died with infections
   rather than from them. Then there are the indirect deaths of people who
   died from circumstances created by the pandemic.
