If you are going to try to compare between annual deaths and deaths from COVID-19 you need to pick a comparable interval, and then you can do the comparison. Since the COVID-19 rate is changing rapidly, and the deaths are happening in a short period you might want to try looking at daily rates.

As one example, accidental poisoning deaths happen at a rate of about 178 deaths per day. Today New York reported 332 deaths from COVID-19.

The leading cause of death in 2017 in New York State was heart disease, with 44,092 deaths, the next in line was cancer, with 34,956 deaths, and then accidents at 7,687 deaths. Collectively, that results in a rate of 238 deaths per day from the 3 top causes in New York.

The death rate today from COVID-19 infections was 1.4 times greater. The death rate from COVID-19 infections is already larger by 40% than the previous top causes of death in New York, and the number of COVID-19 fatalities per day is likely to grow significantly.

When you compare the rates of death over the same interval hopefully you can see why so many people are concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic.
