It is not debatable that there were over 500,000 excess deaths in 2020. I believe suicides went up some but it has been asserted that flu deaths went down. If some auto accidents were attributed to covid then those went down a little but I'm sure other categories, perhaps heart disease, went up a little. But overall, there have been more than 600,000 excess deaths.

If only 300,000 of those excess deaths can be attributed to covid, then what happened in the last 18 months to cause an additional 300,000 deaths ABOVE what is normal even with covid included?

Who says none of the deaths were related to the FLU? They are saying that the tests do not know the difference between COVID and the FLU and that is why they are discontinuing the test, right? Some deaths were classified "death WITH Covid" and some were classified as BY Covid. Maybe the death count related to Covid is padded? Just guessing.
