I don’t know if an average of 1500 deaths a day counts as “mass die off” or not, but it kind of feels like it does.

If you had a flock of a million birds and sixty of them died and you wrote a thesis with the term "mass die off" you would be laughed out of the room.
According to NatGeo "mass die off" is 90% of the population. I'd be alarmed at 6% die off in humans and not even be posting on the topic, but we are at less then 1%. For the unvaxxed.
"Killing each other off" just doesn't fit here.

The only reason that seems like a big number is because you do t count all the people that died everyday before Covid.

You know that precovid about 8000 people died each day in the USA?

Sure. So an increase of 20% every day from a single cause is significant.

In some countries, there was no major difference in annual All-Cause deaths between 2020 and prior years, which suggested that some deaths (with? of?) Covid were accelerated by a few months, but would have happened even without Covid due to existing ailments/co-morbidities.
Some countries reported more all-cause deaths for 2020.
Some states/countries sent Covid-infected patients into nursing homes, which did not help.

The vast majority of countries (~75%) reported significantly more deaths: https://elifesciences.org/articles/69336
