No, it really is very rare. This isn't some local perspective issue, this is a virus with an IFR of less than 0.1% and by no means everyone caught COVID, many never did. Again - if it were actually not rare, there would have been sufficient deaths from COVID in the pool of 65,000 vaccine trial participants (for Pfizer alone) to have actually seen a difference, but in reality more people died in the vaccine arm than the placebo arm! 65k people is a lot of people. That's more than the population of the town I grew up in, yet COVID deaths were so rare in that group that they may as well not have happened at all.

Bergamo coffins are not a great example to pick because that was an artifact of telling the local undertakers (whom were all quite old) that handling the bodies would be a death sentence, so they refused to do it and as a result coffins piled up.
