Even mild cases of Covid an result in death up to six months after infection. from a Study by the Washington University in St. Louis.
“Our study demonstrates that up to six months after diagnosis, the risk of death following even a mild case of COVID-19 is not trivial and increases with disease severity,” said senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, assistant professor of medicine. “It is not an exaggeration to say that long COVID-19 — the long-term health consequences of COVID-19 — is America’s next big health crisis. Given that more than 30 million Americans have been infected with this virus, and given that the burden of long COVID-19 is substantial, the lingering effects of this disease will reverberate for many years and even decades. Physicians must be vigilant in evaluating people who have had COVID-19. These patients will need integrated, multidisciplinary care.”

So you're saying that all 87,000 people the study followed had non-Covid health problems and that's why they had long Covid, or died. All 87,000. Enough with the idiocy.

Yes. They didn’t have COVID anymore. They died as a result of their pre-existing comorbidities. It’s even in the link you provided. Covid perhaps made them worse. It’s why high risk people need to be careful.

You use co-morbidities like a talisman you hope will keep you safe from Covid.
