Do a search on these forums for "excess deaths" to find several discussions of this.
"With" or "Of" or space aliens, over 500,000 more people died in 2020 than in 2019 or 2018 or 2017 or any previous year. There was something different in 2020 that resulted in those 500,000 additional deaths. The vast majority of the country (the world, really) understands that Covid was the reason for those excess deaths.
