Friends are railing on me how dangerous COVID is. I just cite that the numbers are inflated from co-morbidities and elder abuse but they won't quit. Any anon know an efficient way to refute it?

I wanted to make a point of year over year deaths in 2018, 2019, 2020 - and it seems that the numbers have been changed vastly since the last time I looked a few months ago. I don't know what to think about that, but year over year total deaths from all cases does appear to have risen. The last time I looked, the 2019-2020 numbers were roughly the same using the same resources.
I would look at this website and compare 2019 season to 2020 season. It should be clear that nearly every flu case is being recorded as a COVID case
