Now break that down by age. And for bonus points tell me which people died “from” Covid and “with” Covid.
All the data surrounding Covid is trash. Garbage in, garbage out. It’s gonna take a while before cooler, non politically motivated people can get an accurate figure.
This analysis has been done several times. To the best of my knowledge, even the covid policy contrarians don't see a a problem with its obvious conclusions. Here, let me google that for you: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
The results on the "Weekly Number of Deaths by Age" dashboard are pretty clear - Covid had little impact on the death rates in the under-44 group. This is not surprising, as every country that records this data shows the same result.
I'm not sure of the situation in the US, but here in the UK all of the data dashboards and death stats indicate "deaths with Covid". This is simply how they were recorded, nothing more nothing less - if you tested positive for Covid within 30 days of dying, you were a "death with Covid".

(Separate replies, as I included both statements in a reply that then got flagged. Curious which one is offensive!)
Sorry you were downvoted for your comment, I agree with it and will toss my hat into the ring of downvotes.
I spent countless hours doing data analysis on covid numbers, going to primary sources (as much as was possible).
The data is horrible.
From bad "covid id" methodology, to indeterminate and vague cause of death reporting methodology on death certificates, to mixed state and county level reporting mechanisms and weird sudden and inexplicable "boosts" in CDC all cause mortality in December, I'm completely at a loss for doing any meaningful analysis of covid data.
Until the CDC releases anonymized source data, we won't be able to perform analysis that doesn't look like confirmation bias.
