I have a feeling if we could all see the actual, individual cases of each person who has died from Covid only and not those who were at death’s door you would be stunned by the actual numbers.
I agree. There is a difference between dying from Covid and dying with Covid.

I have an uncle that died with Covid. He was 93 years old. He went into the hospital for a heart condition. After surgery he was sent to rehab where he fell and broke his hip. After that he was told that he had contracted Covid and he died shortly thereafter.

The problem is that who knows if the Coivd killed him or if his death was the result of his heart surgery or even the broken hip. I've heard many cases of elderly people dying shortly after breaking a hip.

In the case of my uncle, an autopsy was not performed so the cause of deaths was listed as Covid. But who knows? He was 93. He could have died of natural causes.
