re: Total Number of Deaths per Year

There are a lot of flu and pneumonia deaths baked into that 500k number

Can you define "a lot"? Because 17-18 was the worst flu season of the last decade with about 60k deaths, which would hardly impact the bottom line for 2020.

And the link I posted breaks out deaths related to pneumonia, so here are pneumonia deaths by year:

2014 - 187546
2015 - 187364
2016 - 178220
2017 - 180151
2018 - 177180
2019 - 167386
2020 - 354973

Really bad pneumonia season I guess?
