I did the same. Covid was the year where the official flu disappeared as a reason for deaths, and everything became covid deaths.
Also if you died for any reason and was found to have covid inside, it was classified as a covid death anyway.
So I saw them drive up the statistics enormously to ridiculous levels. People here on Lemmy don't agree though and gets upset about this point of view.
To them covid was a global killer, very dangerous, just like the media and the government said. But when I look at statistics, I hardly see any deaths in people younger than 50. This is official statistics for my country at least.
But yeah, the US has/had so many incredibly unhealthy people so of course they got hit hard. Italy also for the same reasons.
