So another percent on top of that is a doubling. As many people again dying from Covid-19 as die from all other causes. How is that NOT “insanely” high?

Given the average age of covid deaths, there's probably something like 80-90% overlap there. Nowhere near double.

How much does people dying disrupt our lives every year? Not at all, basically. Two times "not at all" still isn't much.
