Did CARES Act Funding Undermine the Accuracy of COVID-19 Death Reporting?

During the first half of 2020 the most deaths from COVID-19 were reported in the Northeast and Midwest, but by the end of 2021 this trend shifted to Southern and Western states. This shift may have been influenced by massive disparities in CARES funding per state (from $20,000 per COVID patient in New York to $470,000 per patient in West Virginia). Preliminary statistical analysis reveals a positive correlation between CARES payments and COVID deaths. Did hospitals in states with higher payments lower their reporting standards in order to get more funding? If these causes of death are inaccurate, how might they have been misconstrued?
