Stats can be interpreted different ways, but just raw numbers don't really shed a light on much.
Maybe, overall, deaths are down because not as many people are driving as much (a big chunk of deaths, somewhere around third or fourth behind heart disease and cancer). Maybe people working from home resulted in fewer stress-related heart attacks (heart disease being the biggest killer year to year). Maybe, as some GOP candidates have alleged, nobody has really died from COVID and it's all a plot by the Trump administration to make the Trump administration look bad. Who knows?
Numbers are great, but without explanation, they're just numbers.
