Once again, basic math. Risk is a quantitative concept.

and if you're under 70 the risk of dying of covid is extremely low

I believe the CDC has said deaths due to Covid is about 6%. The other 94% include Covid with co-morbidities. Some of the co-morbidities the CDC includes are terminal cancer, heart failure, strokes, and more. Covid didn't necessarily have an impact on the outcome of some of the deaths, so the death was a death with Covid rather than due to Covid.
Assuming the 300,000 Dec total is correct, 6% is 18,000. Covid probably won't hasten a terminal cancer death, but may hasten a heart failure death.
300,000 deaths is still 300,000, but the original death estimates were possibly over 2 million. Hopefully, things are going to continue to improve.
Under your definition, cancer kills approximately zero people per year then.

What kind of cancer do you wish upon Old 97?

I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I've determined that something like the Roger Ebert cancer would be fitting.

First, it would shut him up. Second, he wouldn't be able to enjoy food or drink. Third, he'd look weird, and kids would stare at him.

My Mom's death certificate is cancer. My wife's parents are cancer.
My Dad's death certificate is pneumonia. Cancer killed him, but pneumonia set in from essentially being bed ridden as a result of the cancer.
This was before Covid. If they would have had Covid when they passed away, then Covid would have also been listed on the death certificates.
Cancer was the cause of death. I spent plenty of time with all 4 before and til the time of death.
There is a difference between dying due to Covid and dying with Covid.
In no way am I trying to imply that Covid is not a serious concern.

sorry they don't make a revolver with a 10,000 round magazine (which would be comparable to covid)

I guess butt cancer would be overkill for a guy who can't eat. But maybe something affecting the waterworks ...

This word soup doesn't explain how pre-covid our Emergency Rooms were functional and during covid they have been an overcrowded shit show.
