> Many people have chosen to promote the lie that the vast majority of COVID deaths can be dismissed using this reasoning, rather than a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction.

This is comically illustrated by the examples being used... Hit by a bus? Hospice patients with weeks to live?

The truth is that the typical comorbidities, that have a noticeable effect on the actual total number of deaths, are things like obesity, hyptertension, and diabetes... Things that literally will not kill an otherwise healthy adult in the same time period as COVID-19.

The biggest comorbidity by far is old age, which definitely will imminently kill those it affects on its own.

I mean... No, it won't... Being 75+ doesn't kill someone in weeks like COVID-19 does...
