They are down because they are dying at home, which is captured in the excess mortality.

The excess mortality is higher than the already official Covid tracked deaths.



Maybe, or maybe it's increased suicide, domestic violence, other coronaviruses, and even covid. Suicide for example is about as deadly as the flu during a normal year and peaks right about now. The excess mortality does require an explanation though, agree. I'm sure some heart attacks and strokes are happening at home, but 60-80%? Seems unlikely.
