In the UK our healthcare system is overloaded though because of 2 years of lockdown policy postponing any elective surgeries.

You are right on your figures though - when you look at excess deaths over 5 years there has been much fewer deaths because of Covid than the official figures would have you believe, but the impact of lockdown will be felt for many years to come.

It is both overloaded and not working at full capacity simultaneously, due to chaotic and foolish rules.
