Died “from” or “with”.
Tough question.
The “died from” when hospitalized is almost uniformly associated with pneumonia and ARDS.
As far as “died with” and not from viral infection, how can you really know for sure?

Understood. Point I was trying to make relates to, “What else?”.
Viral pneumonia with associated ARDS? That’s a gimme. How else can it be killing you? Those acutely infected sometimes will have markedly elevated CRP, elevated D-dimer, variable elevation of AST/ALT, and alkaline phosphatase. There are coronavirus types effecting mice that will cause fulminant hepatitis, and introduction of only a few amino changes will result in tropism for murine CNS leading to death by encephalitis.
We don’t know all there is to know about the newly unleashed coronavirus and it’s mechanisms for sickening humans.
That is all.
