Here are the totals for the first 47 weeks of each year:
2017 2515944
2018 2551868
2019 2559485
2020 2886361
Based on this data, total deaths are indeed up over 300,000 this year vs each of the last 3 years.
I think perhaps where OP (or whoever made that screenshot) got confused is that the data at the second link they provided does not include January of this year.
Ah conspiracies.win, where actual statistics are silently downvoted and sexy photos of the first lady are upvoted to the top. What a quality place we've got here.
I'm skeptical of this sketchy screenshot, but was intrigued so I pulled the last 3 years of weekly raw data from the CDC and ran the numbers myself.
Here's where I downloaded weekly raw data from: https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
