"Can you see a once-in-a-century disaster here? Or did the various lockdowns amazingly save millions of lives? (They sure were amazing, those lockdowns, weren’t they?).
2020 is so far only 10% above the five-year average (which is 1 045 365).
Bear in mind as well that some of these 2020 deaths will be lockdown deaths, rather than Covid-19 deaths."
