1. Not really. The numbers have been fairly consistent given the notice on the page that in many cases they are preliminary. The problem is usually that people haven't taken the time to understand what the datasets are.

2. Either only 300K of the 600K can be directly attributed to covid or only 300K of the 600K actually ever existed. In the former case, the other 300K died of something, so what was it? In the latter case, the other 300K never existed and never died and the states, the CDC, the WaPo, the NYT, the CovidTrackingProject, and many other sources are lying to us.

There is too much consistency in the 600K number to believe those people never really existed.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
