Did you read the article? The point of the study is to say that statistically this doesn't add up. Well, Covid is a once in every 100 years pandemic. Heart disease, influenza, and pneumonia occur every year. Trying to use statistical analysis is the wrong approach. To those who think this is your proof that covid was overblown, you haven't read the article.

In case you're serious: yes I have read the article.

Of course a one off non-peer reviewed piece isn't proof of anything but it does reference interesting data.

Heart disease, influenza, and pneumonia really are things that kill every year, so why don't you think they can be statistically analyzed? This year is different than previous years, but it seems odd if you're suggesting Covid is beneficial for heart disease.
