I believe a very large number of deaths each year are caused by medical malpractice. Currently, most people are staying away from their doctors. Resulting in fewer deaths.

Are you saying that our doctors are mostly useless and kill more people than save lives?
People are avoiding hospitals so they are not having fatal complications of surgeries, drug reactions, blood clots, too.
Doesn't have to be malpractice. There are risks involved in all procedures, and if you decrease the number of those procedures you will have a decrease in short-term death. Plus, there are fewer people on the roads (less traffic deaths). People are also being more vigilant about symptoms, and the social isolation is probably also decreasing the incidence of other infectious diseases. There are likely several other contributors. Of course, malpractice does happen.
I dropped out of nursing school because I could never live with the thought that I hurt someone in the course of doing my job. Yet we have doctors killing thousands of people every year with foolish mistakes and nothing ever happens.
