The links to the weekly death numbers and the explanation of the source of that data (that I will add later) say the same; the weekly death counts are based on actual death certificates, not projections.
There were approximately 600,000 additional deaths in 2020. The numbers are not finalized. If they turn out to be high by 20% then that would mean only 450,000 additional deaths. Even with a 20% over-count the number of additional deaths is staggering.
So again, what would account for over 400,000 additional deaths if not Covid?

Again, this is a direct quote from the CDC’s website: “This report provides an overview of provisional U.S. mortality data for 2020. Provisional death estimates can give researchers and policymakers an early indication of shifts in mortality trends and provide actionable information sooner than the final mortality data that are released approximately 11 months after the end of the data year.”
ESTIMATES that’s the CDC’s terminology, not mine.
