So it’s interesting if those numbers are correct then it’s more likely that people are not dying as much this year because they’re not on the roads adding to all sorts of other statistics. Did you pull up deaths by motor vehicle so far this year and a whole bunch of other stuff?
What we need to see is we need to see the breakdown in order to determine whether or not we’re just having a typical year, or whether or not there are classes of things that didn’t happen this year that involve people being out of the home. Especially a major population centers where for the most part people are actually wearing masks, restricted to staying home, there are very few essential workers , blah blah blah
I did find this... which is an interesting read, but its its only one source:
A comparison of the number of deaths from all causes in the U.S. during the first 17 weeks of 2020 reveals a higher mortality than for the same period in any of the previous five years. While the death count was comparable to previous years in the first two months of 2020, it increased rapidly...

The reason I bring any of this up is it doesn’t make any sense that there would be no change in mortality for certain types of events. if a bunch of people are staying at home… the numbers are going to have to be different. Very curious to see how major population centers not having a lot of people out and about with affect death statistics in general.
If you’re interested in looking at the dead yourself yourself, I was able to find the CDC webpage on death statistics for this year:
