That's true. Nonetheless there were 500lk more deaths in 2020 than in 2019. There are credible studies showing a large percentage of excess deaths from deferred health care, stress, etc. There will never be a true accounting of the death toll, but there is already plenty of solid science showing lots of coronavirus deaths were really from COVID-19. Can't be handwaived away with a junk science article like the one above.
"More deaths". What a fearmongery term. That number is going to grow and grow for the next decade for the simple reason that the birth rate in 1946 suddenly jumped by almost 3 million and grew and grew over the next few years (Baby Boom).
Boomers are old now and the first wave is dying off. This isn't magic and it isn't rocket science.
Now you know. Everybody stop freaking out and grow a pair.
