re: There’s no way we have as many deaths as being reported

Which would explain why the people dying are more or less within the typical life expectancy of the region, in some cases above the average life expectancy might be possible.

So.. old sick people are dying right on time. <-----

I've seen this a few times on here, but you should know that it's kind of misleading to think that average life expectancy of 80 means you expect people to die at age 80. Because it's an average that takes deaths at all ages into consideration, by the time someone survives all the way to age 79, they are not expected to die at age 80 anymore.

As an example, this site shows that a man aged 75 in the US would be expected to live another 11 years on average, despite the fact that the overall average life expectancy for that chart is 76, and was certainly much lower when the man was first born.

So if a 75 yo man dies from covid19, that is still likely taking quite a few years of expected living away from him.
