To take a overly simple look at it. And a total disclaimer, I have seen different people try to slice this data up, but nobody knows for sure, which complicates things. But in the name of simplicity, I'll use easy numbers.
- 70K people died either because they got Covid, or they had some underlying conditions that they would've been able to live with had they not gotten Covid
-100K people were listed as Covid deaths, but most likely would've died regardless but had Covid as one of the causes on their death certificate. So they are automatically counted in the data.
What are the exact numbers? Not sure, but we do know for certain, it's LESS deadly than originally thought. We have known for a long time who is most at risk.
