Just a bit of info for you. Pre Covid over 7,000,000 die in the US each year on average from various causes. You can find multiple resources that will break that number down for you specific to each cause. Year to date Covid has resulted in an additional 833 deaths per day with the bulk of those deaths occurring in the first 90 days of the pandemic. That number has decreased each day since then and that number includes individuals who died from other causes but then it was determined that they had Covid as well. All this data is available at multiple government websites and other independent sites.
