Baby Boomers are starting to die in big numbers.
The US has been accepting Covid patients from Mexico, and possibly other locations, so their deaths would likely count as US Covid deaths.
Possible US Citizens dying for any reason while abroad or expat will be counted in 2020, too.
Thank you very much for providing the graphic! Those of us who don’t have time to watch a video appreciate this.
Oh, I forgot. Hospital closures to “non essential” treatments, fear of going to the hospital for tests or treatment due to Covid contagion, and suicide resulting from Covid lockdown will have contributed to death rate.
There must be bodies everywhere.
If the Democrats can get you to ignore your own senses, then they can steal from you.
So the Johns Hopkins article was correct. No increase in deaths.
Here are the links in clickable format:

Neither of them says what the headline is claiming.
The first (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/provisional-tables.htm) only has data through June 2020.
The second (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm) has a bunch of qualifiers about the data below the table. I’ll start listing them here:
NOTE: Number of deaths reported in this table are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period. Counts of deaths occurring before or after the reporting period are not included in the table.
*Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction and cause of death.
Why These Numbers are Different
Provisional death counts may not match counts from other sources, such as media reports or numbers from county health departments. Counts by NCHS often track 1–2 weeks behind other data.
Death certificates take time to be completed. There are many steps to filling out and submitting a death certificate. Waiting for test results can create additional delays.
States report at different rates. Currently, 63% of all U.S. deaths are reported within 10 days of the date of death, but there is significant variation between states.
It takes extra time to code COVID-19 deaths. While 80% of deaths are electronically processed and coded by NCHS within minutes, most deaths from COVID-19 must be coded by a person, which takes an average of 7 days.
Other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths.
Things to know about the data
Provisional counts are not final and are subject to change. Counts from previous weeks are continually revised as more records are received and processed.
Provisional data are not yet complete. Counts will not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for more recent periods. However, we can estimate how complete our numbers are by looking at the average number of deaths reported in previous years.
Death counts should not be compared across states. Some states report deaths on a daily basis, while other states report deaths weekly or monthly. State vital record reporting may also be affected or delayed by COVID-19 related response activities.

Don’t forget those covid fatalities from gunshots:

seriously...
told ya....number of deaths will be statistically the same...
Bingo!!!
And the punch line was “Lady that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you”
There ain’t no f. in broccoli 🥦
Tell me something I don’t know
COVID is no joke. COVID is no hoax.
The CDC URL’s quoted in the post do not have the 2020 death number shown in the table...the second CDC URL in the table shows 3,209,597 deaths in the U.S. for 2020, and 2,855,000 deaths in 2019...resulting in more than the reported ~316,000 2020 U.S. deaths from COVID-19. (354,957 more deaths in 2020 over 2019).
