Pre-covid definitely seems like the better baseline to use here, because lockdowns may have prevented some other deaths in 2020.
For the 2015-2019 data, I would be interested in seeing the standard deviation, not just the mean, to be able to judge how likely such a deviation is, historically. The fact that female deaths show a similar order of magnitude change in the opposite direction makes me suspect this may be within the noise?
