They’ve merged with other deaths
How are total deaths down?
I’ve always said excess deaths are the way to measure all of this, but you’ve also got to consider indirect positives like limited mobility decreasing deaths (car crashes, deaths while on vacation like drownings/falls, etc).
There is a reason insurance companies are sending people refund checks and it’s not out of the goodness of their heart.

JAMA Network - Journal of American Medical Association paper
"Weekly death data for the 50 US states and the District of Columbia were obtained from the National Center for Health Statistics for January through April 2020 and the preceding 6 years (2014-2019)...Between March 1, 2020, and April 25, 2020, a total of 505,059 deaths were reported in the US; 87,001 (95% CI, 86?578-87?423) were excess deaths, of which 56,246 (65%) were attributed to COVID-19."
It looks like, statistically speaking, there were plenty of excess deaths in the US.
To those who say that they are way over-reporting the number of deaths associated with COVID-19..."These estimates suggest that the number of COVID-19 deaths reported in the first weeks of the pandemic captured only two-thirds of excess deaths in the US." Meaning...they weren't attributing all of the excess deaths reported to COVID-19, as some may suggest.
