Covid will either begin the era of life extending medical advancements Or we’re gonna die off as a species.

Are they dead from the Corona or was Corona present with other conditions that caused death?

Small sample size. This coming from Wisconsin:
The median age of those who have died is 76, according to the detailed cases in the Journal Sentinel spreadsheet. Among the 793 total deaths in the state, 560 were among people 70 and older, as of Thursday. That's 70% of all the deaths.
Statewide, 40 people under the age of 50 have died of COVID-19, as of Thursday. The Journal Sentinel has detailed information on 27 of these cases, and all but five had underlying health conditions listed. Three didn’t have previous health information listed, and two men — 45 and 49 years old — had no known underlying health conditions. The youngest victim was 21 and had cancer. The most common underlying health conditions in this group were obesity and diabetes. (51+ years old there have been 743 deaths, 51 to 69 years old there have been 193 deaths)
At least 43% of COVID-19 victims were living in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, according to state data.
In Wisconsin, 3% of those who tested positive have died of the coronavirus. However, the actual percentage is likely smaller because some people with mild or no symptoms would test positive if there was greater testing capacity, experts say.
Like I said, the sky isn't falling and we'll get a vaccine within a year. May end up having one by the end of this year.

Not sure why so many people are confident this will be the case. There are plenty of viruses out there, that have been around for significantly longer, and have yet to have a vaccine

Once again reading comprehension. Said it was a small sample size.
If you go back to where we had around 60k deaths I also put up a stat that pretty much is in line with the Wisconsin deaths. 37% of all deaths were in nursing homes, and not all states reported nursing home deaths so that number is actually higher. The other stat was that there were more deaths of 80+ years old than there were 74 and below combined (I believe that was the 2 numbers).

Nursing home deaths have accounted for 37% of all deaths (35,118). And the numbers are probably higher since all states are reporting deaths at nursing homes.

the more of you to die, the cheaper my rent gets. supply and demand folks.
37% of all deaths were in nursing homes. 85+ accounted for more deaths than <74 years old. Unless you going to a nursing home your rent ain't moving
Here are the two posts. And I guess that was around the 100k death mark not the 60k death.
So those Wisconsin numbers are lining up with national numbers more or less.

IT IS NOW well-known that, although covid-19 can strike even the very young, older folk face the greatest risk. In hard-hit rich countries, about 60% of all deaths from the disease are among people aged 80 and over. America, however, is an exception. Data released on June 16th by the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) show that the country’s death toll skews significantly younger. There, people in their 80s account for less than half of all covid-19 deaths; people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, meanwhile, account for a significantly larger share of those who die. The median covid-19 sufferer in America is a 48-year-old; in Italy it is a 63-year-old.
