Tragic though mainly due to lack of fitness and poor health. 70% of Americans are overweight or obese [https://ourworldindata.org/obesity] and more than 77 percent of 17,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States had excess weight or obesity. [https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.17.20156265v3] And the CDC reports, that "for 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 3.8 additional conditions or causes per death,” evidently meaning such patients would have lived if they did not get Covid. However, this is a presumption.

Also, the CDC criteria for classifying “presumed” COVID19 cases is very broad even based upon a cough or shortness of breath plus living in an area with a sustained community transmission.

Moreover, there can be some possible financial motivation influencing deaths being assigned to Covid-19. For under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act through a Medicare 20% add-on, USA Today affirmed that,

Hospitals and doctors do get paid more for Medicare patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or if it's considered presumed they have COVID-19 absent a laboratory-confirmed test, and three times more if the patients are placed on a ventilator to cover the cost of care and loss of business resulting from a shift in focus to treat COVID-19 cases.[93]
