He was making a pun on the common practice during COVID of attributing death in death to certificates to COVID whenever the patient presented a positive PCR test, no matter the real cause of death, the actual existence of COVID disease in clinical terms or the existence of more preeminent factors in the death.
This usually happened due mostly as a result of federal policy of paying out extra money for hospitals based on the number of covid patients, thus creating an incentive of diagnosing anyone with a positive PCR test as sick from covid, whether they presented actual clinical symptoms of the disease or not.
