There's the actual US stats on 2020, 2021 will have higher proportion of COVID deaths as it will have a full year of full infection. It's quite clear that the overall death rate jumped some 10% or more over trend, meaning sadly for the skeptics out there they didn't just blame Coivid for other things. We also have to remember this is living with compensation for the disease including lockdowns, social distancing mask wearing. If it was left to spread like flu it would be significantly higher, NYC locked down pretty hard to stop the spread there as with other major cities affected. So being 3rd (10%) on the list of nasty things to die from in a year is nothing to sneeze at, especially when your target is doing things to stop you.

PS also have to remember that if they cure CVD, Cancer and Alzheimer, humans will be well on the way to living forever baring intervention from accidents and intentional harm. So Covid tops the list of external things trying to kill you.

Things that are vulnerable to Covid infection such as Heart disease and Diabetes also jumped in 2020, indicating maybe some were possibly Covid related as well.

BTW I see a worrying trend of Alzheimer deaths increasing in the US, hopefully they can find a cure or good treatment for that soon.
