I strongly suspect that those heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, etc. deaths are still heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, etc. - it's just that they're now being counted as Covid-19 deaths as primary cause. It's not like their other diseases went away when they caught the virus. This is like my dad's death from various cancers (7 different ones over the 17 years from first diagnosis to death) being attributed to heart failure because, well, his heart DID stop on that day.
