I’m always fairly torn by these numbers (I’ve done a lot of research and tracked this[1]). There’s a lot of confounding factors...

The lockdowns increased the rate of suicides substantially. Largely suicides occur in people 65+, so a 100% increase in suicides would be some 150k deaths in the same age range as COVID.

Murder is also up some 50% and there were riots...

Not disputing the excess deaths, just the causes aren’t all that clear imo.
