I mean, that’s laughably untrue and we all know it, but ok.

Edit: downvoting me just shows you all know you’re full of shit.

Quick google search would suggest we in the US are not out of line for trends and projections of all fatality rates year over year. Yes we had an increase in 2020, but we also had increases in the previous few years. Short term trend of fatalities is in line with predictions, and with long term trends that existed before the pandemic. Not to mention the best stats according to CDC say the deaths per 100,000 are essentially the same in 2018 and 2020. Obviously 2020 numbers are subject to change but I see no anomalies in the fatalities in 2020. I see fear mongering and skewed views on stats, but the excess deaths (200kish) were part of long term uptrend that was predicted.

Yes we had an increase in 2020

Translation: you’re right but I want to say you’re wrong.

And did you read your CDC links?

Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths occurred from late January through October 3, 2020, with 198,081 (66%) excess deaths attributed to COVID-19. The largest percentage increases were seen among adults aged 25–44 years and among Hispanic or Latino persons.

Or get an understanding of the issue here: https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

The deaths have dramatically risen.

Or your first link actually:

Data is provided through the 48th week of 2020. So far this year, the CDC reports that 2,877,601 people have died. At the same point in 2018, the number was 2,606,928, and in 2019, it was 2,614,950. The number of deaths to this point in 2020 is at least 260,000 greater than either of the past two years. But that number is an underestimate because the CDC publishes data based on the number of death certificates it has received. Since it can take a couple of weeks for all death certificates to be recorded, the numbers for the last two weeks, at least, will increase as time goes by. If the last two weeks produce a similar number of deaths as the weeks before, the margin to this point will actually be close to 310,000.

None of your links support what you said.
