This is a pretty decent video from April where Matt Christiansen breaks down the US excessive death totals from 2020.
TL;DW
There were 470,000 more deaths than expected in 2020 in the US, 16% higher than expected
Population grow accounts for a small increase
Even with sketchy accounting of COVID deaths, they only account for 340,000 or 10% of the excess
Conditions like heart disease, diabetes and strokes increased by about 5%
Some conditions were lower than expected like cancer and chronic lung diseases, likely meaning some of the COVID totals got shifted from other buckets and many were close to death anyway
Accidental deaths and suicides were up 11%
There were still 50,000 "influenza and pneumonia deaths", unchanged from past years, even though there was essentially 0 traceable flu cases in the US in 2020, making this statistic pretty questionable.
Even with sketchy COVID accounting, there was still a 6% excess or about 130,000 deaths above expected that are unaccounted for.

Yeah, I saw that when it came out. Part of the reason I think it's probably around the same.
Did he mention the fact that the CDC dumped an additional 250k all cause deaths to the annual total in the very last week of the year?
