Deaths from hospitals differing treatment are also a great assessment of COVID impact on society. If COVID hardly hit a region, then they didn't need to delay surgeries. If COVID ravaged through the country, likely the hospitals were impacted and had to delay surgeries. All excess death is relevant.

Lockdowns and mandates are something a region can instrument independently, and we now have lots of data to assess the benefits/impact of different degrees and types of lockdowns and mandates in jurisdictions that were impacted by the same number of new covid cases.
