Sadly we don't know that. The only thing we know is that doctors reported it, but there were incentives in place to ensure massive over estimation.
Very few autopsies were ever performed.

The mask request was required in places like hospitals.  Nursing homes
took a big death hit: "Long-Term Care Facility Residents and Staff
Account for More Than 201,000 COVID-19 Deaths, and At Least 23% of All
COVID-19 Deaths in the U.S., As of 1/30/2022."
