This is a graph showing official number of deaths in Germany for every day since 2020. The red line is for 2026 and the big spike is the recent heatwave. The three days with the most deaths since at least 2020 have all happened just two weeks ago.

Covid was never particularly deadly but to the elderly (and I guess very young?). For me the scary part was always the neurological and physical damage it causes.
I mainly ask because during the pandemic I remember seeing graphs where this looked quite different.
a major problem was also hospitals being filled, hence people saying “flatten the graph” or whatever.
