Per a thread in the Campfire, according to the CDC, overall mortality rate rose approximately 15% year over year 2019 to 2020. From about .7% to .8%. About 300,000 additional deaths. So if 600,000 died from Covid, then Covid itself must have stopped approximately 300,000 from dying of something else.
