I assume the adjustment is to take into account examples such as...
Citizen X died of an auto accident on the way to the hospital but his blood had Covid-19 in it...
Citizen Y died when she was taking a selfie at the edge of a cliff but fell to her death but her blood had Covid-19 in it...
Citizen Z died when he fell from his roof while cleaning the gutters but his blood had Covid-19 in it...
Colorado Gov. Polis pushes back against CDC's coronavirus death counts
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, pushed back against recent coronavirus death counts, including those conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], days after his own state’s health department acknowledged that its numbers had been inflated by including people who had...www.foxnews.com
I'm in favor of reporting as much information as possible about each death (within HIPAA) to reduce the concern that numbers are being over-reported. Many states (including Indiana) separate "definitely COVID-19" deaths from "Probably COVID-19" deaths (the probably ones are less than 10% of the overall total). None of these counts include ridiculous issues like X, Y, and Z described above. And even if they did the numbers would be tiny because only something like ~3% of the population has been infected with the virus anyway.
They may well include things like:
Citizen W was in hospice with terminal brain cancer with a month to live, but succumbed quickly to a sudden respiratory infection.
This person was going to die soon anyway, but died of COVID-19 and should be included in the COVID-19 total.
It's great to get as much detail as possible, but I look with disdain at stories like this that try to instill an idea that the numbers are way off, when in fact the number of questionable cases is very low.

I'm not much of an Obama fan...but I'm less of a bullshit fan...and My President is full of shit because -- unlike Obama who inherited the Great Recession -- Trump inherited an economy that was already getting back on its feet. From the period of the Great Recession until February, 2020 unemployment rates, growth in gross domestic product, poverty indicators, foreclosures, and bank failures trend lines continued upward almost seamlessly from the second half of Obama’s presidency into the first three years of Trump’s tenure. Trump’s claim that he turned around a failing economy? M O R E T R U M P B U L L S H I T that simple minds can't seem to grasp.

So specifically what do you think us sneaky democrats are trying to implement, and what is your alternative solution to whatever that might be?

Not sneaky at all. You guys are totally out in the open about it.
Like Libtard Mayor Garcetti sating never go back to normal “until there’s a cure“. Can’t hang out on the dry sand, wet sand is okay. And an outright lockdown till end of July. So there is a petition to remove him but people now cannot even do that legally because of the restrictions. Hospitals are no where near being even somewhat stressed.

Sorry to hear this. Sounds a bit much to me, for what it's worth.
Maybe this will cheer you up?

$2 billion f#$kin dollars?! You've got to be f#$kin kidding me. 
That barely gets any country out of their affected economy. - China's President Xi Jinping says Beijing has always been transparent about the outbreak and promises $2bn in global COVID-19 aid.
- Italy cautiously returns to post-coronavirus normality, allowing a number of businesses and churches to reopen after more than two months of lockdown restrictions.
- India reports 5,242 new cases of coronavirus, taking the country's infection tally to more than 96,000, the highest in Asia.
- Globally, there have been more than 4.7 million known cases of COVID-19, and nearly 315,000 people have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. More than 1.7 million people have recovered.
