> Covid's is about 2-3%.
0.7% in Israel. Much much less if you exclude terminal cancer, obesity and immunosuppressed transplant recipients.

You probably know a lot of people are in those groups.

The logic of "they were going to die anyways" means we might as well change every cause of death to "old age" or "natural causes", because if nothing else gets us, that's how we will all eventually die. But, of course, that would be stupid, and it would make death statistics meaningless - which is why we don't do it for COVID deaths.
This state is called "dying". Dying people in ECU will develop pneumonia no matter what. If it would not be COVID, it would be their own gum bacteria.
