It's hard to grasp the fact 4,000 Americas are dying each and every day from COVID.
When 3,000 died in 9/11 it was an outrage, but now it's more than that each and every day and everyone has become numb to it.

I imagine people would act a bit differently if we had heart disease charts and graphs plastered on the front of every major news site.
What single cause has resulted in 4,000 daily deaths, day in and day out for weeks on end? (and likely for many more months to come)
The deaths above expected will tell the full story. How many days were there 4,000+ deaths above expected? Probably quite a few, but less than people think.

What single cause has resulted in 4k daily for weeks on end? German invasion of the USSR. There are 1417 days between 22 Jun 1941 - 09 May 1945. According to Russian government figures, USSR losses within postwar borders now stand at 26.6 million, including 8 to 9 million due to famine and disease.[0] So, 17.6m / 1417 = 12,420.6 people per day.
Many deaths are preventable but eventually you die.
500k "preventable" deaths every single year in the USA from smoking. Many others could be "prevented" by eating healthier food or getting more exercise.
Covid has been terrible but you shouldn't cherry pick stats to tell a story that isn't true.
