I first saw the NYT article a few weeks ago. It seems that the stats are accurate?

After seeing 1% of the population die during covid, I was realized that huge amounts of the population can just die, and not many notice, and life continues without that much interruption.

Ordinary people never make it into news: their births, their accomplishments, their deaths.
