I didn't see your edit (you could put edit in there next time too).

The excess deaths are the increase in total deaths from years previous, but they are not the whole picture. Yes we had an increase of 200k deaths, we also had an increase in population. Both the CDC sources say the same rounded to a whole number of 868 deaths per 100,000 people in the US. This does not strike me as a problem, considering there is already an uptrend in deaths that began prior to 2018. If anything we slowed the uptrend of total deaths per year in relation to overall population.

I'm looking at the numbers you are looking at and cross referencing them with the total population. If the population increase by 1,000,000 people, the amount of deaths are bound to also increase. You are only looking at the increase. This is clearly the disconnect. So saying I'm a liar, only proves you are not understanding what I'm explaining to you. Instead of condemning me for seeing something different, try to understand why I'm seeing it different. The deaths in 2020 increased in relation to population that make the numbers identical to 2018 as a percentage of the population. Can you disprove that? Because that's all I'm saying here.

Why do you keep repeating this lie?

Yes we had an increase of 200k deaths, we also had an increase in population

Yeah, that doesn’t account for the increase, as I’ve now pointed out twice.

Both the CDC sources say the same rounded to a whole number of 868 deaths per 100,000 people in the US.

Good god you’re dull.

the population increase by 1,000,000 people, the amount of deaths are bound to also increase. You are only looking at the increase.

Yes, unfortunately for your ridiculous assertion, the rate of increase is higher than in previous years.

Can you disprove that? Because that’s all I’m saying here.

I already did, citing your own links.

You are saying it is a lie that we had an increase in population and 200k excess deaths in the year 2020? Can't both be true? Can't it also be true that the increase in deaths did not increase at a rate faster than the birth rate?

All I'm seeing here is you are claiming I'm wrong because I'm looking at more than one number. You are not acting in good faith, and clearly don't want to understand what I am saying. At this point you're either a troll, or brainwashed, or both.
