There are no absurd levels of death. Average COVID death per day since the outbreak is likely lower than the average death from cigarette smoking. And people die from cigarette smoking since years and years. Million in the last decade in the US alone. And there is no doubt that cigarette smoking also increased COVID death. Another way to look it it is birth rate versus death rate. Globally speaking COVID death would need to be at lest one order of magnitude higher to stagnant growth. The 2 year pandemic made the global world population lag by about a week. So in a week we have the same number of people as we would have today if there were no COVID. Its that insignificant. On a population chart over 100 years COVID will be p much invisible, a tiny tiny slow down of the growth. There are no absurd levels of death there are just many many humans and thus the death number feel subjectively high.
