You coulda done the TL:DR version (I read through it).
From mid march to July 25th, 200,700 excessive deaths have taken place in the USA (cdc estimate).
Which is more than 54,000+ higher than estimated covid19 related deaths.
You can see from charts, that New York had alot of excess deaths early on in the pandemic.
Now its riseing in drastically in Texas, california, Florida, Arizona,.... which should surprise no one.
CDC numbers are estimates, and likely to be "under-estimates" (because they use old ways of what typical trends, when now in a pandemic, things arnt normal).
If they applied the current ~37% higher excess deaths than corona virus reported ones, the actual number should be close to 216,000.
(this would put excess deaths at over 70,000 in the US)
