The number of excess deaths in the world is quite similar to the number of known COVID deaths. In fact, excess deaths is the higher number. It's very likely that the number of COVID deaths is currently underestimated, as spread of other infectious diseases has been drastically diminished by the lockdowns.
I'm certainly not denying Covid19, but I do take all the statistics with a grain of salt. It's important to understand that those people died with, not necessarily of Covid19. Also, why are so many positive tested persons without any signs of illness? I wonder what numbers would result in testing every death for other viruses.
The best, maybe only number we can properly compare is the total death rate. In doing so we see that Covid19 causes additional deaths, but it is far from as severe as the media and politics suggest.
