You know what datasets we have very good statistics for? Deaths. We know, to the person, how many people have died. We have that information year-in and year-out for decades. We know, for a fact, that in excess of 1 million Americans died during the pandemic than would have been expected.

Also, please stop waving away these deaths as "comorbidities" and act like Covid wasn't involved in these deaths. If these people hadn't had a Covid infection then they wouldn't be dead. Period end. That's why 1 million more Americans than expected died. There are millions of Americans successfully managing their heart disease and diabetes who otherwise can expect to live long lives. Covid cut those lives short.
