You have deaths due to Covid directly, additonal deaths that come as a result of good policies, and additional deaths that come as a result of bad policies.

It's disengenuous to say Covid is the cause if politicians used hamfisted responses that led to more deaths than necessary.

Sorry, what exactly is the mechanism for those policy deaths you're invoking? Can you cite the relevant study you're thinking of and explain why it's more convincing than people simply dying of a serious disease?
