The article you linked states that the statistics for 2020 are still being updated. The official results for 2019 have been released and show, "The CDC counted 2,854,838 U.S. deaths last year, or nearly 16,000 more than 2018." That is actually LESS than the expected yearly increase of 20-30k. As this article continues, "That's fairly good news: Deaths usually rise by about 20,000 to 50,000 each year, mainly due to the nation's aging, and growing, population. Indeed, the age-adjusted death rate dropped about 1% in 2019, and life expectancy rose by about six weeks to 78.8 years, the CDC reported."
Both article list 400-500,000 more deaths. Stop bullshitting dude. You can have an opinion on shutdowns, but saying the China virus wasn’t real it a load of rotten bullshit.
Both the USA Today and NYT articles ESTIMATE more deaths. Final numbers are not yet available. Based on the numbers that are available deaths have remained relatively stable from year to year, with only the causes being different. Deaths by the usual causes like heart disease and cancer decreased while "covid" deaths made up the difference. I never said the china virus is not real. You are putting words in my mouth. Nothing I said was bullshit, it's all backed up by available data.
