It’s probably worse than we know because many states covered up Covid deaths. Politicians and hospitals didn’t want it to look like they were failing. Suspiciously, other causes of death (like pneumonia or heart disease) mysteriously spiked during the pandemic.

Excess mortality's hard to cover up.

I mean, unless the right wants to pretend those people are still alive.
