You might have had a point till you said this- ABSOLUTLEY no evidence of that.

BUT now that we have the virus under some semblance of control, BOTH Covid and ancillary deaths can fall. If we had NOT taken measures to mitigate Covid deaths, that 58% would be much higher- you are looking at deaths that happened, not those that were prevented.
