actually more people are dying in the US than statistically average. Run the numbers or be a shill, choice is yours.

I'm using Total Deaths from All Causes not "Excess". Anyone can access it just download as csv and upload to a spreadsheet. The two important numbers are highlighted in yellow on sheet 2. First, the average deaths per day (as of last week) are up 9.9% YoY (8,588 per day in 2020 vs 7,185 in 2019). I wanted to double check that that number was adjusted for total population growth so I looked at death rate per population. I still got a high number of ~9.37%

Re: Sweden, I think early nursing home infections of weak elderly and lockdowns are the major causes of death this year in the US, Sweden did things differently.
I'm not buying covid. Personally I think lockdowns lead to more death than covid. I'm just pointing out that it is clearly false to claim that deaths are not up in 2020. If you see the CDC data as valid, the numbers clearly reveal that this year we're looking at ~10% higher total deaths this year than the previous year. run the numbers yourself on excel, that's what I did.
according to the CDC data total deaths in the US are up ~10% in 2020. 10% seems significant. How much from covid vs how much from lockdowns is a valid question, but the notion that deaths are not higher this year is plain wrong. I ran the numbers myself, thinking that deaths weren't up significantly, but they are
