In the UK at least, in the first wave your chance of dying of covid was 10x that compared to the 2nd wave (way before any vaccine). No one in the media at least publicly has discussed why so many people died in the first wave. My guess is they killed them with ventilators. Whatever the exact culmination of reasons, something must have gone catastrophically wrong to result in so many deaths the first time around. I guess even a fake pandemic needs real deaths.

I personally know two people who nearly died and one who did. In each case I asked and confirmed that they were given Remdezivir and put on a respirator, and I was able to confirm in two of the cases that they were also given Midazolam. The one that died I don't know for sure, but my guess is Midazolam also. I don't know hundreds of people. I also know many people who tested positive and did not go to the hospital and did just fine. And also I can confirm that at least one of the three that did go to the hospital went in with mild symptoms. Pertaining the other two, I don't know.
I'm just an ordinary person with a small family and relatively small group of friends.
