I am a little skeptical about the claims in the article that Ohio COVID deaths are higher in 2021 than in 2020. I have been building tooling around the CDC excess deaths reports [0]. Ohio looks like it did not have the same peaks in 2021 as it did in 2020 [1]. There would have to be 11,778 more deaths recorded at this point to catch up to 2020.
Certainly the situation is unacceptable and terrible. But I am not convinced that it is much worse in 2021 than in 2020.
