Covidiots: iT'S tHe UnDeRlYiNg CoNdItIoNs ThAt KiLlS nOt CoViD

Totally disregarding that these people wouldn't have suddenly died this year if they didn't catch COVID, and this disease is only a year old.

Do we have total deaths/causes for death this year? I'd like to see how much worse we are this year.

No, I think there's a lag in reporting by a couple of years. That said, I've consulted this chart for decades and the causes are usually the same and in the same order...until now...
