Frankly, yes, we can, even if you choose to believe this nonsense statistic.
Approximately 2 people per million per week dying "from covid" (which actually means dying of any cause within 28 days of a positive test) is actually an entirely sustainable result.
Even if you pretended that all of those people actually died from covid, you're talking about 1 in 600 people dying of covid at some point in their lives (assuming 15k per week forever). Once you adjust for the fact that everybody going into a hospital gets a test, and then, if it is positive and they die [of whatever brought them to the hospital to begin with], they count as a "covid death", and you really just have a negligible risk.
