So another percent on top of that is a doubling. As many people again dying from Covid-19 as die from all other causes. How is that NOT “insanely” high?

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.

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?
