I want to know how they arrived at such an inflated figure.
You already know how they arrived at such an inflated figure.
I want to know how many of these deaths are only the result of this virus.
You will never know. No testing was done in many cases, and you would need a court-ordered exhumation order and a postmortem examination and you wouldn't get either.
If the decedents were cremated, you'd be SOL unless tissue or fluid/blood samples were kept and catalogued.
