Thanks to the Wayback Machine, we were able to pull up the now-deleted original paper, which delineates that so-called "infection" with COVID-19 is really no big deal.
When it comes to the death rate this year, there has been almost no change compared to previous years, despite the presence of COVID-19. Things are essentially the same as they have always been, the exception being all the panic, mask-wearing, and eager anticipation among some of a soon-coming vaccine.
"The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals," stated Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master's degree program at Hopkins.
After compiling and analyzing the death rate among all age groups both before and after the pandemic was declared in the United States on March 13, Briand found that the death rate among older people, who are said to be most susceptible, remained the same.
So while it is said that COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, significantly increasing their risk of death supposedly, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagrees.

No, COVID-19 has not increased the death rate among Americans
Briand further found that COVID-19 has not increased the death rate among younger people, either. In every age category, the death rate has remained roughly the same both before and during the pandemic, suggesting that all the panic and hysteria is completely unfounded.
In every year prior to 2020, the death rate from all causes has remained the same. Even this year when accounting for so-called COVID-19 deaths, the overall death total has not changed.
"This is true every year," Briand says about the seasonal increases in death that usually occur in the fall and winter months, 2020 being no exception. "Every year in the U.S. when we observe the seasonal ups and downs, we have an increase of deaths due to all causes."
What has changed this year is that all other causes of death, including heart disease, respiratory illness, influenza, and pneumonia, have mysteriously declined, while COVID-19 deaths have increased.
This proves that deaths from all causes are now being categorized exclusively as deaths from COVID-19. Meanwhile, nobody is dying anymore from heart disease, respiratory illness, influenza or pneumonia.
A data chart included in Briand's study illustrates this clearly, showing that the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19.
"This suggests, according to Briand, that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading," the paper explains. "Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19."
In other words, if a person tests positive for COVID-19 and dies at some point in the future from any cause, that death is tabulated as caused by COVID-19 for political and financial purposes.
"All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths," Briand reiterated. "Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary."
