I stated that over 500,000 more people died in 2020 than in 2019. Both your fact-check links give the number of deaths in 2019 as 2.8M. One gives the number of deaths in 2020 as 3.35M (550,000 more than in 2019) and the other says that "preliminary data shows the year has already surpassed 3.2 million" (or 400,000 and growing).
You might also check
this data. You can add the weekly numbers in column G for each year to get yearly totals. 2019 comes in at 2,845,793 and 2020 at 3,433,852.
