"....Can you show were I have erred in my calculations, or have referenced data that is flawed?...."
Your calculation is irrelevant waffle that has nothing to do with the deaths from Covid-19.
There are no brownie points for deaths from other events being down to use to fudge Covid-19 deaths.
"....Well, for starters, comparing 6,000 deaths with 300 deaths is to compare apples with oranges....."
No, it isn't, the 6,000 and 300 deaths are from Covid-19, same, same.
".....PS. The notion of "excess deaths" is not some kind of a esoteric construct that I came up with: it is the stock standard metric that statisticians, epidemiologists and actuaries use as a measure of a virus's true impact......."
You are using it to fudge the number of Covid-19 deaths, the subject is the number of Covid-19 deaths, not some other metric you are trying to weasel in.
I'll repeat, There are no brownie points for deaths from other events being down to use to fudge Covid-19 deaths.
There is no prerequisite that mandates your statistical gymnastics of offsetting Covid-19 deaths with variances in deaths from other means.
Your statistical gymnastics is just a nonsensical fluff, there are 1,000,000 Covid-19 deaths, the number isn't reduced because people didn't die of other causes.
Not complicated.
1,000,000 Covid-19 deaths with restrictions.
1,000,000++++ Covid-19 deaths without restrictions.
