Your guess was "less than 63,000." I believe I tried to get you to provide a single number, to be able to compare to other entrant's numbers.
Like the election of 2020, we're never really going to know. Many people died of other causes but were found to have Covid. Covid with a death rate among normal people of less than 1%. Still, Covid was put down on the death certificate as a contributing factor. Like the guy who fell off a house and died. Turned out he had Covid but was asymptomatic. The die hards say that he probably fell because he was feeling bad.

See the table in this link to the Journal of the American Medical Association network,

The estimates of "official" record keepers of COVID deaths, like CDC and Johns Hopkins, are lower than excess deaths.
That's why I said if we were counting the number of excess deaths attributable to the COVID pandemic in the USA, adav8s28, with the highest guess (1,569,600) might be the winner.
While we didn't have a contest for the total number of people infected, I bet Dilbert's guess, 90 million, was pretty darn good. The reported number is 54 million cases, but count the people who had COVID and never went in for a test and 90 million may be close to the mark.
