1% is not insanely high, it's roughly how many people die each year.

  Then indeed, doubling the number of people who die would be significant.

    Of course, but so is the damage caused by lockdowns.

      Are you suggesting that lockdowns are doubling the number of animal deaths?

    Given the average age of covid deaths, there's probably something like 80-90% overlap there. Nowhere near double.

    How much does people dying disrupt our lives every year? Not at all, basically. Two times "not at all" still isn't much.
