      By age group, COVID-19 ranked seventh (infants), seventh (1–4 year olds), sixth (5–9 year olds), sixth (10–14 year olds), and fifth (15–19 year olds).

      Pretty significant.

        I didn’t; anything in the top 10 is “leading”, to me. And when you strip away accidents and assault/homicide it gets higher:

        fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

    Yikes. And this is only the mortality where covid was the main cause of death, not contributary such as when it gives people pneumonia.
