OK, we're all about doing one's own research here...

Let me give you a hand.

Lets go find the worst possible current numbers, straight
from the CDC, shall we?

Scroll down and find the table options and pick your poison.

With and without WuFlu:

A closer look at that last column?

Or we can take "Above Average by Cause:

All this gets REALLY interesting when you drill down by
various states.

Now, tools in hand, get serious and show us how we are
still in some uncontrolled pandemic.

Most of us have done the homework here.

For anyone having trouble with the CDC dashboard,
you must click the update dashboard after picking
which display you want.

How is the ‘average’ orange line above the blue line ‘predicted’ the whole way across the graph?

I am already smelling hinky data presentation.

Weekly counts of deaths by age group are presented. Trends are shown for 2015-2019 and 2020.
Weekly counts of deaths due to select causes of death are presented. Trends are shown for 2015-2019 and 2020.
Total numbers of deaths above average levels since 2/1/2020 are shown for select causes of death.

So the data are crunched to include 2015-19, but only shown Apr ‘17 thru Apr ‘20. As I recall from a couple of weeks ago, someone tallied data from deaths per month over the last 6 years. The current year was not sig different than average (2% above ave) but less than the data from the 15-16 year. I cannot find the source data at cdc, uufortunately.
