I assume you mean "occurred" and not "accused"?? The number of expected deaths each year increases, presumably because of a continually aging population. There was no other event in 2020 that can account for a roughly 10% increase in the number of expected deaths. 10% is a large spike in a number with normally small variations. I am sure someone at some point will do the statistical hypothesis test.

Sorry, that is not evidence.
