If I were you I'd definitely put the numbers aside because they are killing your point.  But therein lies the problem.  If someone has a heart problem and develops pneumonia and they die, was it a heart attack or pneumonia?  Many of the people that died from a co-morbidity that had the virus may have just as well died from the ordinary flu (the numbers of which were down dramatically in 2020 I might add) or pneumonia or other disease.  That's why you have to look at excess deaths and when the CDC did they came up with a conservative 375,000, not counting the number of deaths from the ordinary flu which magically, mysteriously almost disappeared last year. 

So no, simply saying someone died from a heart attack and having the virus does not mean they died from the virus nor does it mean that a healthy person has the same level of risk as an unhealthy one.  One has to wonder how many excess deaths there were with previous outbreaks, like in 1968.  I doubt they have the data but it would be interesting to see.
