From this source it looks like excess deaths are at least 2x higher than those attributed to coronavirus.
Sure, that's plausible.
I'm making the claim that deaths are also under-reported, and at a rate that could be consistent with the existing known rate reported.
That's not plausible. The current case fatality rate (known deaths divided by known cases) is 5.7% according to https://infection2020.com/# https://infection2020.com/#. Nobody seriously believes that 5% of infected people end up dying; the most pessimistic estimates are between 1 and 2 percent. (Which would of course still be extremely bad).
