The exact cause doesn't really matter in this context. The point is that more than that have died compared to a normal year.

It does when you're doing risk and cost analysis

Deaths do not exist in a vacuum. They are caused by something.
Interesting, but since it is said without anything to back it up it can also be as easily dismissed. I based my data on https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spr...

Correlation doesn't mean causation. Isolation also creates excess deaths. Economic hardships also creates excess deaths. Stress and anxiety create also excess deaths. Alcohol and drugs also create excess deaths. All of these increased since the pandemic.
