You can't use a guesstimate for cases and compare it to confirmed deaths. You would also have to guesstimate deaths. We know about Bergamo at least, that only about one fourth of deaths reached official statistics. That may be similar in other regions. The real number of deaths is higher than 1M.

Covid deaths are probably overestimated considering the inflated method of counting every deaths with a positive pcr test regardless of underlying conditions. Many countries have too many 'covid deaths' with not enough total excess mortality as a match. Total global infections is based on antibody tests and should be quite reliable.

The US is again predicted to be back at baseline total mortality (graph ends October 3) even though we still have many 'covid involved death' papers.

Any source for the "too many covid deaths with not enough total excess mortality as a match"? The graph you posted clearly shows noticeably elevated deaths still and that is with all other causes of death being down due to COVID measures.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here but even without testing results the excess deaths show clearly that COVID is many times more deadly than the flu and that is WITH unprecedented measures to combat it.
