Here is what you can do to easily get ahead of all your info sources... Go to your local morgue, any city in the US will do, even NY and Louisiana, and count the corpses. Ask the coroner how many died last year on this date.
Overwhelmingly, there have been fewer deaths this year than last. What happened to the ten thousand bodies from all the people that died of the virus? The 50,000? the two and a half million? Now do you want to believe your own lying eyes or the gold-plated statistics from the poofters on TV? Believe your eyes or the media, but something big is going on and you are being distracted.
You have a good argument. I don’t actually disagree with you. But the dead we are counting come from a population of at most (IMHO) 5,000,000 people.
30,000 of those people died in the last month. If the virus spreads to 50,000,000 then we could be running at 300,000 per month.
At 30,000 a month you have a tolerable death rate. At 300,000 a month I don’t think you do. We would have been overwhelmed. The mortuaries would have been overwhelmed.
Of course projecting what infection and death rates would have been if we just went about business as usual is really not possible. We really don’t know. We may never know.
But lastly, you really can’t compare deaths per 330,000,000 to deaths per 5,000,000. That is just apples and oranges even when it’s corpses.
