Are you sure there has been a spike in the total number of deaths in the world?

This is an honest question. I hadn't heard that there was a spike in the total deaths. If there were a spike in the total deaths, I think you are absolutely right, that COVID would have to be a potential candidate for the reason for the spike.

But if there weren't a spike, it seems to me that any deaths allocated to COVID, may have previously been allocated to the flu or pneumonia by default.

Sounds like the flu. Otherwise, how did they miss all the excess deaths?

"Expected Deaths" don't seem to show a flu season bump

Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of deaths are age related.

NYC testing criteria is essentially only testing if you are at the level of being admitted to the hospital

In that case it's dangerous to assume you've had it already without confirmation
