Wait so we only have about 300,000 people die each year?

Where did you get that number? The way im interpreting this graph, the y axis is showing deaths per week. so approx 40k (low end estimate) x 52 is over 2 million.

The graph is also seeming to say 149k more people have died this year than normal
