Are you so stupid that you think when a number is bigger this year it means it was a huge decline from last year?
This is a simple count of death certificates and the listed cause of death. It is not some made up number.
No one is claiming they would have lived another 100 years. The simple claim is they probably would have not died this year. We won't know how long they likely would have lived until we see the death counts the next few years. If deaths in 2021 are 800,000 less than deaths in 2020 then we can say they only would have lived a few months. Otherwise they would have lived at least a year.
