At the time of this slide (November 13) worldometers reports 249899 US covid deaths. Given that other causes of death are predicted to be down, that seems pretty close to the official numbers.

Sure enough, if you subtract another 30 days from the 317 total on that slide for 2020 (to account for January missing from the data on the page linked to), deaths per day becomes 8590 and projected deaths for 2020 becomes 3135341 which is 296136 more than 2018.
