Excess deaths means over the average/expected deaths so things like cancer


and heart disease would be baked in. Unless you think there's a logical reason that deaths from those causes would be substantially higher than average this year. We've been over the excess death threshold for every week since the last week in March so what is more likely... that the excess deaths are due to an unexplained random rise in things like heart disease and cancers... or that they're due to a new virus that started killing people in the US right around that time?
