US alone, which was an increase far above normal. So it is quite fair to say that COVID-19 culled some of the weakest of the population.
Whether that translates to many years of life lost or just 1-2 is debatable. Looking at the ages, there was still a sizeable chunk that died younger than expected with the majority still being those past the average lifespan.
Either way, the entire response was extreme in being out of proportion to the risks.
