So, what's interesting is that I saw a report somewhere that the pandemic is also causing an increase in non-COVID deaths because people are avoiding hospitals and doctors' offices, so they aren't seeking treatment for conditions that wouldn't be fatal with treatment, but are without.
Anyway, glad we could figure out the data weirdness. I love data visualizations, and here is one straight from the CDC that actually comes from the second source link in the OP.

This shows the excess deaths over what was estimated by the CDC for the year. That is what COVID is responsible for.
