The best numbers to look at are "excess deaths". These are deaths, for any reason, in excess of what would normally be expected. The CDC tracks this. The number of deaths each year is remarkably predictable. Since COVID-19 was the only extraordinary event in 2020, looking at the number of excess deaths can give you a pretty good picture of direct and indirect deaths caused by the coronavirus.

A PCR test with ground glass opacities in the lung and a lung disease that presents like an organizing pneumonia and you probably have a Covid case. Declaring someone died of it without a genuine doctor examining the patient? That's just BS and it happened a lot. The numbers were juiced, no doubt.
