I think if you look at "excess mortality" rates from other countries and average them out, the 14% increase of deaths in 2020 might make more sense [1]. A +14%

I think if you look at "excess mortality" rates from other countries and average them out, the 14% increase of deaths in 2020 might make more sense [1]. A +14% increase in mortality rates is statistically significant when compared to the UN projection of +0.44% made before covid-19 [2]. Looking at one county's stats and ignoring all others is making a fragile counter-argument on worldwide death rates.
