alameda county's covid-19 dashboard last week show the total number of deaths was at more than 1600. but a look now shows the death toll at over 1200. the huge drop this because alameda county has changed the way it calculates covid deaths because it realized it was leading to an accurate information. >> if the question was how many people who get admitted to the hospital. every place is covid test in the way only the county was doing a previously would have made a lot of ships, but u c berkeley infectious disease specialist doctor john swartzberg says. >> just because she test positive for covid-19 doesn't mean that necessarily contributed to your death. >> what they've done. there was a cold out those cases of people who got admitted to the hospital, had a positive covid test that they may never be that it did for another reason like a heart attack. and that's why they died or they could have fracture their hip and they've got pneumonia and died in the hospital. but because they had a positive covid test previously. they were counted as a cold case.

>> alameda county is now counting covid deaths just like the state and federal government not simply a positive test but only if someone died as a direct result of covid-19. if covid-19 was a contributing cause of death or of covid-19 could not be ruled out as a cause of death. >> during the pandemic. we've had to revise a lot of our all the way switches things because it's a very dynamic situation. everyone understands that this is just another example there's a better way to do it. we've discovered what but that is and we've made that change. >> in short spurts as many counties in the bay area had already been doing it that way. he says this is unique and he says really overall, if you look at the death numbers nationally as we look back at the pandemic down the road. those death numbers will be under reported nationwide live in alameda. dan kerman kron 4 news stand. thank you. >> both pride and joy on
