Actually you can if his death was hastened by Covid.
Disagree, he died with Covid not from Covid
Unknown - unless you know what’s on the death certificate.
However Niemann-Pick A is invariably fatal by age 3 from respiratory failure and or liver failure. Even a common cold would hasten death.
The media calls it N-P “rare” but it’s about 1:100000 - 1:200000 which is about the same as the TTS from AZ
At the other end of the scale, Covid also hastens death in people of advanced age. It’s strange to see people morally concerned about Covid in these populations when there was no concern with the common cold/flu. It would be an interesting exercise to see by how many years Covid has shortened the lives of the people who died - especially those of advanced age and in people with significant comorbidities.
Not any more people are dying annually during the Covid pandemic than before in Australia.
