So 800,000 COVID would be about what one would not be out of the question except we are probably talking people dying with COVID not from it.
3,358,814 - 2020 deaths
2,854,838 - 2019 deaths
That’s a very substantial increase. “except we are probably talking people dying with COVID not from it” is likely not the case with those kinds of stats.
