It doesn't seem plausible that random chance could account for 2020's, though.
- roywiggins 7y agoI don't know what the distribution of deaths looks like normally, but a 4x difference is going to be several sigma unlikely in any reasonable one. Also, consider that it happened exactly at the same time coronavirus deaths spiked, which seems vanishingly unlikely to be a coincidence.
