it's same here in Czechia except only ~390 infected people died (not because of COVID, but they were infected when they died), in country of 10.6M where each month die roughly 10000 people, so roughly 400 people out of 40000 dead within 4 months of virus. truth we had mandatory masks like one of the first in Europe and even outside (insane), but we don't have them like two months, not even indoors more than one month and there is NO spike in deaths, quite opposite, there is less than 1-2 people dying per day and whole country has <30 serious cases in hospital. most of the newly infected cases are asymptomatic or very mild cases, almost nobody needs hospitalizationd espite daily new infections between 200-300
we will know only later what was the impact of this virus, but everything leads to completely unproportiante response with pretty much no excess deaths, if you look at yearly stats even in failed countries like UK or US
in UK is already in 6 consecutive weeks total death toll from all causes lower than 5 year average implying people who would die through the year just died within short time window and now the stats are catching up and number of excess deaths is falling

I can imagine it's gonna be pretty much same in US despite anti-Trump hysteria amd scaremongering, but of course you won't have huge headlines about lower than average death toll per week, that's not very attractive for media
I wish people would be so enthusiastic about other deaths too, half million people in US die every single year from smoking, but I don't see anyone banning smoking as much as we wasted tons of money on this minor virus killing pretty much nobody
