The number of deaths in 2020 was the same as the number of deaths in 2019. There were no excess deaths. 75% of the Covid-19 deaths were actually old age deaths. 90% of the rest were either complications of other illnesses or re-diagnosed to be Covid when the actual cause had nothing to do with Covid. Saying 500,000 excess deaths is just trying to rekindle the fear.

I don’t know who told you that the number of deaths have remained the same, but they are a bad source of information.

Number of deaths in the US in 2018: 2,839,205 (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db355.htm)
Number of deaths in the US in 2019: 2,854,838 (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db395.htm)
Number of deaths in the US in 2020: 3,378,126 (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm - Preliminary but still rising)

You’ll notice that from 2018 to 2019, there was a 0.5% increase in total deaths in the United States. The normal range is 0.3% - 0.7%. In 2020, there was an 18.3% increase over 2019. That’s unheard of outside of incredibly extreme situations. Like World War II.
