well they were old they would have died anyway.
That is a fallacious argument. I cant go around shooting people because they are probably going to die within the next 5 or 10 years,
The latest US death count from CDC for 2020 is 3.4 million dead
That is a 19% increase from the previous year. Over the previous 5 years there was an average 1.24% increase in total US deaths all causes.
2020: 3,403,979
2019: 2,845,957
2018: 2,832,001
2017: 2,804,481
2016: 2,728,601
2015: 2,701,797
2014: 2,675,414
That is a massive increase in the death rate. And covid didnt even start killing people until April. That increase represesnts 400,000 people that would have died much later.
