How many more people are dying now versus a comparable period

The CDC link above answers that. We average 58,000 deaths per week. That increased to near 70,000 during the Covid peak. Then, as Covid has died out, we did NOT return to the 58,000 average, we dropped well below it.
Covid pulled old and sick people forward in the time line, and now we are in a period of FEWER average deaths. We will see that the same number of total deaths occurred in 2020 as 2019, 2018, 2017...

Heart Disease is #1, and Governor Edwards is bribing people to get Covid tests with quarter pounders...

Because people who die from other causes, but test positive for Covid, are listed as Covid deaths, these numbers are irrelevant.
And can we also eliminate the intentional deaths caused by Cuomo by forcing nursing home patients to be housed with Covid patients?
And can we also see the ages of these people in all categories. That would be nice to see.

Not to mention that average median age of death from Covid is higher than the life expectancy rate in this country.
OP really thought he had something here.

That’s crazy to think about. Not sure what it means in the grand scheme but it does put things in perspective.

This is just a guess but if there was no vaccine in 2021 and we continue like this I bet the number of deaths for this virus drop significantly
There was a huge spike when nodody knew what was happening especially that dumb shirts on New York and New Jersey who killed a bunch of people right off the bat on purpose
All this panic is gonna disappear like a fart in the wind come November, no matter who wins, guaranteed

I interpreted your post the opposite way - even assuming the COVID numbers are legit, there are many more conditions with a higher death toll EVERY YEAR, and yet, nary a peep from anyone. Go ahead, down vote that.
