"Lots of people die from covid-19, but those people would probably have died later that year anyway, so there's not much excess mortality."

This is simply false.

The most extensive research here, posted in HN yesterday indicated that Corona represents about '1 year of living' worth of risk for individuals.

It's killing a lot of people with 'conditions' who would otherwise live a long time.

Did you ignore the rest of my post, where I spend a lot of time talking about all the other people who also die from covid-19?
