A year from now, we can look back at the number of people who died in 2020 and compare that with 2019, 2018, 2017, etc.
No other analysis is really meaningful.
I believe that EVERYTHING is inflated about the Corona Virus.

I think there was a post from a few days ago where the net deaths this year, all causes, was substantially lower this year than in years past. No doubt in part to people being basically locked up in their homes for 6 weeks.
that’s a good point.
Inflated
I think inflated. You have a 75 year old with cardiac disease, COPD, and diabetes, then catches COVID and dies. The COVID certainly did him no favors, but what did he really die from?

Bingo.
Yes - everything is inflated by as much as 200% - how much? No one knows, but God. And He ain’t tellin’............
undercounted, accurate or inflated?
All above for the Flu and Covid-19. It will take a couple of years to determine and people will argue over the question no matter what you present them.
No matter what the CDC decides to use as the guide lines on counting, there will be some group unhappy yelling conspiracy theory.
I strongly suspect a LOT of “Beer Flu” deaths are actually other things dying people were going to die of anyhow, but there’s that SWEET SWEET Federal gibs-me-dat for each Beer Flu case. Especially if you slap a ventilator hose on the corpse. If flu and pneumonia cases are down this year, that’s a likely reason why.
The feds should not pay one penny for a Beer Flu case unless there is a positive test.

This.
Yesterday's Worldometer daily death numbers for the US and NYS seem inflated.
The governor of NYS said that there were 231 COVID deaths in NYS yesterday. Worldometer inexplicably added an additional 521 deaths to NYS yesterday for a daily total of 752.
And of course that jacked up the U.S. total.
Ok, where is Worldometer getting its numbers from?
“This.”
lol, here and other places too..
Amen. Some people look for a conspiracy behind every bush.
“Ok, where is Worldometer getting its numbers from?”
They are getting the numbers from the State websites. The Column on the right name Source will have a link to them.
If they are getting their numbers from the states, what accounts for the huge discrepancy as shown the previous post for NY State?
Governor Cuomo claims to have a direct reporting system to the hospitals.
