The CDC has some interesting data posted on their site, here:
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku
For some reason, they provide data on total deaths, COVID deaths, and deaths from pneumonia and flu.
There is no age group in which COVID deaths exceed the total caused by flu and pneumonia. Looking only at the flu, COVID is significantly less deadly than the flu for children under the age of 14, and causes less than 3% of all deaths in persons under the age of 35.
It gets a little murky, because the CDC has always reported their age distributions with a funky “mid-decade” cutoff, ie, age cohorts are 35-44, 45-54 etc. But, the COVID doesn’t really get going enough to cause more than 8% of all deaths until you hit the 45-54 age cohort, and even then it is not the greatest risk of death for older Americans.
Now it’s interesting that it’s easy to find global data on comorbitities, but if the CDC is collecting and sharing their own information on this topic with the public, it’s buried deeper than I could find. Which is probably not an accident, because it would be a glaring and too obvious embarassement to the Dem/Media/Acedemic/Deep State goons who want to do as much damage as possible between now and November 4.

That suggests that there’s something about the way those numbers are constructed, or that the flu lethality is off the charts this year, or...that Pneumonia is the symptom. That would require deeper digging, but in any case clearly can’t be taken the way you’ve presented.
