In the US the number of people who died is: 2,813,503 in 2017 and 2,744,248 in 2018 [1]
So far this year 2,330,395 people have died this year. [2]
If you take this years death total and divide it by ten months, and multiply it twelve months to estimate how many people might die this year, it's *just* above the 2018 number.
The overwhelming number of people died because of complications from pre existing conditions. I think those are counted as Covid deaths but not accidents, supposedly
The answer to your question is yes. This method of counting covid deaths was made clear by authorities from the very beginning on the record. Their official explanation was that this would provide more accurate counts and they said so proudly. I don't understand how everyone isn't aware.
