If you look at how the infrastructure for managing dead bodies has held up in places where covid hit the hardest, it's pretty clear that many more people are dying than normal. If we were just shifting the cause of death from an existing complication to a new one, our current infrastructure would be fine. It's not. This virus is killing people years and decades before they would otherwise die. Having a chronic medical condition (e.g. diabetes or heart disease) is very different than having a terminal illness with only months to live.
