#2Reduced commute stress? More family time? Schedule flexibility? Better eating? More sleep?

#3of course, all of the heart disease deaths were added to covid deaths.

#4Tl;dr: "This suggests, according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading. Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19."

#7Wait, you’re telling me all 250k of the deaths aren't directly related to covid????

#8So eventually we are going to have an answer to these questions. There is a notion of "excess deaths" (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm). It will be pretty hard to lie / manipulate these numbers.
We (the US, probably other countries) have pretty good statistics for how many people die every year (and what killed them). We can use this historical data to estimate how many people would have died in a normal 2020. Compare that to what actually happened, and its a pretty good argument for how many people COVID killed.

If I had heart disease, but would have lived for five more years without being infected by covid-19, what was the primary cause of death?

#10Not surprising. There is a strong economic incentive, passed by Congress, for hospitals and providers to milk covid-positive patients. Elective procedures are also down substantially, so they have to make a living somewhere.
