Did COVID-19 Cost Americans 5 Days Of Life On Average? Did The CDC Cheat To Bump The Estimate Up To 1 Year?

[Did somebody (Bach? CDC?) confuse (a) the amount of life we lost directly from batflu infections and (b) the amount of life we lost from 2020 (including at least batflu + lockdowns)?] 

That's not my idea, and I'm in too big a hurry right now to read again and think.]
