Their point about comorbidity is nonsense.
If someone gets into a car accident which causes trauma and eventually organ failure which leads to death... Would the cause of death be organ failure or car accident?
Accident.
What ever the patient dies of whether its pneumonia, stroke or organ failure if it is caused by covid19 the cause of death will be covid19.
In your above example, just add an event that the person was texting while driving. Then, what would you like to take out of the equation in order to prevent any such replication of results anywhere else.... would you banish people from using mobile phones or don't let anyone drive?
Such is the case of "comorbidity", where two things may not be that dangerous in isolation, but their combined effect is serious.
There are reports that covid19 deaths in US are still under-reported.
We cannot compare to 2017 because more people are staying indoors which means people are less exposed to other dangers such as car accidents and homicide.
Glad you used "Car Accident" as a cause of death, rather than a broken rib or pulmonary puncture due to it.
Well, if you reject the data of 2017, just because of the reasons that people are staying in more.... then you should also ban driving after the pandemic is over, since it claims so many lives.
Does it make a case that people should remain home because the more they get out, the more are the chances of them getting into an accident or fall prey to homicide?
But any one from medical field knows it, already.I don't buy their argument on immune system for reasons I already mentioned.

Prolonged spaceflight could weaken astronauts' immune systems
Researchers report impaired NK-cell function during long-duration space travel.

Same is the case of an astronaut, who is out there in isolation and when he returns back, his immunity seems compromised. Try to find out the reason why?
